The First 100 Days of VP Harris; NYC's Next Mayor? Maya Wiley; Colleges Expect More Diverse Classes This Year
The Brian Lehrer Show | May 3, 2021
Coming up on today's show:
- Eugene Daniels, a Politico Playbook author and White House correspondent, and Christina Greer, political science professor at Fordham University, host of the podcast FAQNYC, politics editor at The Grio and author of Black Ethnics (Oxford University Press, 2013), talk about the first 100 days of Vice President Kamala Harris in the White House.
- Maya Wiley, legal analyst and a university professor at the New School, talks about her plans for the City's economy, both in recovering from the pandemic losses and in addressing pre-existing inequality.
- Anemona Hartocollis, national higher education correspondent for The New York Times, explains why colleges and universities like Harvard, Cornell and NYU have accepted a more diverse freshmen class -- admissions officials cite the fact that many schools waived standardized tests, and the movement for racial justice as reasons.Â
- Today marks the start of Teacher Appreciate Week. So as this tumultuous year winds down, listeners call in to share their appreciation for their - or their children's - teachers, who have worked so hard and done so much to help their students through the year.
