Saying No to the "N-Word"

Tuesday, February 27, 2007

Leroy G. Comrie, Jr., New York City Councilmember, District 27, is sponsoring legislation to ban the "N-word" and Veralyn Williams, Radio Rookies producer whose piece, "The N Word: It Represents Hatred" aired in December 2006. She's a college student (junior at Hunter College, where she's studying media and communications) talks about why she has used the N word--until she found out its history.
