Flashpoint: Racial Progress: How far we've come and how far we have to go.

This week Flashpoint discusses the issues and challenges our country is facing with systemic racism, racial injustice and race relations. Pennsylvania Human Relations Commission's Executive Director, Chad Dion Lassiter, gives his expertise on ways we can combat these issues, and we hear from Frank Meeink, a former neo-Nazi white supremacist turned anti-racist activist on the racial progress he sees today, a year later, after the death of George Floyd.

Our Newsmaker of the week is executive director of the ACLU of Pennsylvania, Reggie Shuford, who hits on the racial progression in Philadelphia and what his organization is doing to keep up the fight for civil rights.

Lastly, the Philly Rising Changemaker of the week presented by Patriot Home Care highlights Cherise McGill, an African American woman blazing a trail of firsts in the food and beverage industry.
