High Schoolers in Canarsie Take on Environmental Racism
The Brian Lehrer Show | Jun 3, 2020
After months of deliberation, a pandemic, and thousands of submissions, meet the winners of the 2020 NPR Student Podcast Challenge!
Students Jaheim Birch Gentles and Joshua Bovell talk about their winning podcast, The Flossy Podcast: Climate Change & Environmental Racism, which takes on environmental racism and their frustration with the lack of black climate activists.
They're joined by their teacher and mentor Mischaël Cetoute, a restorative justice coordinator who helps run the Men in Color after-school program at their school, the High School for Innovation in Advertising and Media in Canarsie.
