This episode follows days after a tragic event in the United States--in Buffalo known as the City of Good Neighbors. Eva M. Doyle writes her column of 44 years "Eye On History" for the nearly 100-year-old Black newspaper The Buffalo Criterion. Ms. Doyle--known as Mother Doyle--happened to change her plans from her routine 2pm Saturday grocery run to Tops Supermarket and picked up her dry cleaning instead. She avoided death that day. But her colleague, fellow writer Katherine "Kat" Massey, did not. At the time of this recording, Mother Doyle published a column remembering Ms. Massey and the nine other community members fatally shot at the hands of a white supremacist.
Mother's Doyle's work as a writer and historian may be found at Evamdoyle.com.
This episode first aired on KBLA Talk 1580 in Los Angeles.
