Stories from the Underground

The Leonard Lopate Show | May 10, 2010
On today's show, we'll find out why more abortions are performed in New York State than anywhere else in the country. Later in the show, we’ll look at whether or not the money donated to charities really goes to those who need it most. We'll learn about the overlooked history of African-Americans on the Western frontier. And we'll hear the story of a man who tried to commit suicide by setting himself on fire when he was just 14-years-old.
