The Brian Lehrer Show | Jul 17, 2017
Jamil Smith fills in for Brian for the week. Coming up on today's show:
- Michael Isikoff, chief investigative correspondent at Yahoo News, talks about the latest on the investigations into the Trump campaign and Russia and other national news.
- There are more artists than ever in NYC and spread throughout the 5 boroughs, but the need for workspace is an ongoing struggle. Jonathan Bowles, executive director of the Center for an Urban Future, reviews the numbers and a new proposal to help retain them.
- Brittney Cooper, assistant professor of women's and gender studies and Africana studies at Rutgers, co-founder of the Crunk Feminist Collective and author of Beyond Respectability: The Intellectual Thought of Race Women (University of Illinois Press, 2017), talks about how African-American women throughout history shaped the intellectual conversation on race and gender.
- Vincent Warren, executive director of the Center for Constitutional Rights, kicks off our week-long dive into the state of the Constitution and our institutions — who they serve and who’s left out.
