Everybody's All American

Friday, June 29, 2007

Last night’s Democratic presidential candidates’ debate focused on domestic issues and was notable for having a panel of questioners comprised of journalists of color. We’ll hear excerpts from, and get listeners’ reactions to, the debate along with analysis from two of the questioners, columnist Ruben Navarrette, Jr. and NPR’s Michel Martin. Also, a call-in for parents on the role of teachers in the schools; and everything you wanted to know about New York City recycling.
