One of the important things we do together as a community is work to make sure the next generation is set up for success. In Part 1 of a two-part series on policies affecting children and families, host Kevin Slayton leads a conversation with Rev. Kobi Little, president of the Baltimore City NAACP chapter, and Nonso Umunna, KIDS COUNT director for the Maryland Center on Economic Policy. They discuss what the data show about the challenges facing kids and families in the state and the kinds of policy changes that would help ensure the state doesn't continue to leave some children behind.
