Race Matters

The Leonard Lopate Show | May 10, 2010
Does race matter in New York? Today we'll speak with three journalists from TimeOut New York who just took this question to the streets. Nicole Blades, an African-American reporter, visited Asian restaurants and comic book stores in Flushing, Queens; Helen Yun, an Asian-American reporter, went to casitas in the Bronx; and Ahmed Shihab-Eldin, an Arab-American journalist, checked out the white, Irish neighborhood of Woodlawn. They'll tell us what they found.
