Bob Hennelly on how structural racism is affecting the pandemic (5/29/20)
Before he became a familiar journalistic voice across New York City’s radio dial, Bob Hennelly was national affairs correspondent for Pacifica Network News. His writing has appeared in the New York Times, Slate, the Village Voice, the Christian Science Monitor, the Miami Herald, the Detroit Free Press along with dozens of other magazines and newspapers. In his latest appearance on Leonard Lopate at Large on WBAI, Bob talks about the harrowing process of reopening sections of the country as COVID-19 continues to claim hundreds of lives daily and examines the ways that economic inequality and structural racism have made things much worse.
