To mark Black History Month, we’re talking to NJ’s political and business leaders about the challenges the Black community faces. After the federal government eliminated diversity, equity and inclusion programs, Assemblyman Antwan McClellan (R-Cape May), Democratic strategist Jeannine Frisby LaRue and African American Chamber of Commerce of NJ President and CEO John Harmon discuss how much progress has actually been made.
Then, Montclair State University Professor and Epidemiologist Stephanie Silvera talks about what potential funding cuts to the National Institutes for Health means for her and other universities in the state. She also offers ways to protect yourself and your family this flu season.
