Special Report: Corona Exposes Disparities

Like never before, the Coronavirus pandemic is exposing long-discussed disparities in our society that have been fueled by decades-old housing policies, educational inequities, poverty, and racism. The community has wrestled with poverty and affordable housing for years, but those problems are about to become exponentially worse as the economy has ground to a halt and struggles to restart. The longer the shutdown, the longer it takes to restart, the worse it will get. And, what if we have to relive this closing-opening nightmare again and again?  Uncertainly only worsens the situation. How are we as a community addressing these issues? What resources and creativity are being deployed to address the problem and help those caught in this storm?

Featuring Dr. Mysheika Roberts, Health Commissioner, Columbus Public Health, Stephanie Hightower President & CEO, Columbus Urban League, with host Colleen Marshall, Co-Anchor, WCMH NBC
