The Drug War Edition Before the 'War on Terror,' America fought the 'War on Drugs.' Twenty years ago, Americans were called to battle, and a nation transformed. We have the story of a woman caught up in the trafficking. Also, we consider what happens to children when their parents are put away. And we look back at the history of drug laws in America.
The Bobby Seale Edition 40 years ago, Bobby Seale and Huey Newton formed the Black Panther Party in Oakland. Today, Seale tells the story of how a small group of people drew the attention of a nation to issues of race, wealth and poverty.
San Francisco Town Hall on Poverty - Program San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom visited the Whitney Young Community Center to discuss the issues facing the city's Bayview/Hunters Point District. In a lively, two-hour discussion, Newsom and dozens of the city's department heads talked with residents about issues ranging from affordable housing to redevelopment to violence. This half-hour program includes excerpts from that conversation. You can also hear the unedited hearing in our "Complete Archives."
