Bankole Thompson interviews Gary Brown, executive director of the Detroit Water and Sewerage Department about the recent mailings sent to over 200,000 Detroit residents that sparked panic over potential lead in their drinking water. During the interview, Brown acknowledges that the department failed to adequately clarify the purpose of the letters, which were intended to meet EPA standards.
In the second segment, Bankole speaks with Anthony White, artistic director of the nationally acclaimed Detroit Youth Choir (DYC). White shares insights on the group’s future plans and the dedication required to build an ensemble like DYC to achieve national recognition.
Finally, Bankole provides his perspective on the upcoming Detroit mayoral race, offering guidance on what Detroiters should consider as candidates compete for leadership in one of the country's largest urban centers.
