• The COVID Vaccine: Vaccine Hesitation and the Trust Gap “People just have more questions than they do answers. And now we have a new problem, which is a lot of those people who are ‘No’ or ‘No, for now’ have become a yes. And we have a waitlist in Genesee County of over 30,000 people and the list grows by about 2,000 people a day.” Christy talks with Dr. Debra Furr-Holden, an epidemiologist at MSU’s Division of Public Health and director of Flint Health Equity Solutions, about vaccine distribution and helping local groups get their questions answered when it comes to COVID vaccine safety.

• Remembering Detroit Legends Mary Wilson & Charles McGee Detroit recently lost two iconic artists—Mary Wilson of The Supremes and Charles McGee. Wilson was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, was an author, and fiercely loved Detroit. Charles McGee’s artwork can be seen all around the city. Wilson appeared on Detroit Black Journal in 1986, and McGee talked about his work in his own words in a Detroit Performs segment from 2017, where he talked about the unveiling of his mural titled “Unity.”
