Stacey Patton as a childA Legacy of Violence
Stacey Patton endured a harsh childhood and joins guest host Errol Louis to talk about her new memoir. She connects the legacy of slavery to the violence she experienced at the hands of her adoptive parents and argues that corporal punishment should not be used on children. Also: New York Times sports columnist William Rhoden, our special guest each week in August, on the guilty plea of a former NBA ref, and a remembrance of Phil Rizzuto. And, we take an in-depth look at the NYPD's new report on homegrown terrorism, discuss Suffolk and Naussau counties plans for county-wide Wi-Fi access, and take your calls on what to experience before you have children.
Terrorists Made in NYC
According to a report released yesterday by the NYPD, the biggest terror threat to our city comes not from al Qaeda, but from our neighbors right here at home. Jack Riley, Associate Director of RAND Infrastructure, Safety, and Environment, and Acting Director of RAND Center on Quality Policing, and Richard Falkenrath, the NYPD Deputy Commissioner for Counter Terrorism, help explain the details. Then Laila Al-Qatami, communications director for the Arab-American Anti-Discrimination Committee, responds to the report.
