21. What if Kids Could Change the World?

Latest Episode
Apple
Sometimes children say it best. Unafraid to say what they mean directly and unapologetically, most children will tell you exactly what they are thinking if you ask them. And sometimes they are wise beyond their years. Hampton Roads teacher and award-winning author, Lydia Netzer, found this out recently when she set out to get some answers from local children. After an exhaustive past few years of political rhetoric from politicians and pundits on 'what will fix America,' Netzer decided to ask local children a question: 'What would you do to change the world in 2017?'MORE Producer/Network WHRO Public Media

Latest Episode Video

For decades, residents in two Black neighborhoods in the Hampton Roads region of Virginia have complained about coal dust that coats the interiors of their homes, cars and playgrounds in a fine black dust. Dust they also breathe. Dust that makes them sick. Some residents are deeply concerned about the impact of the dust on their lives. Others are unaware of the dust and its effects. Crosswinds puts residents in the center of the story of coal dust in Hampton Roads, and what's unfolding now in efforts to build healthier neighborhoods and lives.
