b'There is nothing harder to quit, no habit so radically hazardous to one\\u2019s health yet difficult to break, than tobacco use. A great resource is Philadelphia Department of Public Health\\u2019s Smoke Free Philly initiative and the PA Free Quitline (1-800-QUIT-NOW) - a telephone-based counseling service for Pennsylvanians that offers free, confidential coaching and lifestyle tips toward the cessation of smoking with no judgment. I speak with Ryan Coffman, Philadelphia Department of Public Health\\u2019s Tobacco Policy and Control Program Manager.

The brutal Murder of 14-year-old Emmett Till in 1955 was a catalyst for the Civil Rights movement. We\'ll tell you how the National Parks Conservation Association is working to create a new park site that honors Emmet and his mother Mamie Till-Mobley. I speak with Alan Spears, Senior Director of Cultural Resources and Government Affairs at the National Parks Conservation Association.
