Albany Session Ends; The ACLU's Focus; Disturbing History; Chris Quinn on City Elections

On today's show:

• On the final day of this legislative session, Karen DeWitt, Capitol bureau chief for New York State Public Radio, reports on what bills will make it through both chambers and on to the governor and the status of the impeachment investigation in the Assembly.
• Nadine Strossen, professor of law at New York Law School, former president of the American Civil Liberties Union, member of the ACLU’s National Advisory Council and author of HATE: Why We Should Resist It With Free Speech, Not Censorship (Oxford University Press, 2020) and Elie Mystal, justice correspondent for The Nation, discuss how The American Civil Liberties Union is grappling with prioritizing cases, and whether First Amendment battles are more important than other, more progressive battles.
• Earlier in the week, a listener shared that she'd discovered an ancestor of hers was the head of the KKK in Wilmington, NC, and had participated in a massacre, where white vigilantes murdered Black residents of the city in 1898. Sharon Leslie Morgan, founder of Our Black Ancestry, genealogist, writer and multicultural marketing expert who has served as a consultant to the Afro-American Historical & Genealogical Society (AAHGS) and a founding member of Afrigeneas, talks about how people can research their own family history, and how to process when they find out disturbing information about their relatives.
• Christine Quinn, former NYC Council speaker and 2013 mayoral contender, now president and CEO of Win, the largest provider of shelter and supportive housing for New York City's homeless families, draws on her extensive experience in local government to discuss this year's primaries, what voters should look for in a candidate and whether a woman can get elected mayor.
