Episode Details
Original tape date: November 2, 2018. First aired: November 9, 2018.This month we visit the South Bronx. Hip Hop’s home has developed a reputation for being one of the poorest and hard scrabble districts in the country.

You’ll hear about two diverging plans to fix long standing issues caused by the Sheridan Expressway; we’ll tell you about why some South Bronx students are taking the Department of Education to court; we’ll profile a teacher who’s using an ancient African art to educate students here in America; and finally, a South Bronx living legend tells us how the neighborhood has evolved over the decades.
