A new public art project in Boston's Dorchester and Roxbury neighborhoods is showing off some special works of art by nine Black photographers. It's a collaboration between Greater Grove Hall Main Streets and WHERE ARE ALL THE BLACK PEOPLE AT, a grassroots organization dedicated to boosting representation of Black and Brown artists in art museums' permanent collections. Photographer and activist Archy LaSalle joins Nichole this week to talk about the bus stop art project and the work he's doing to promote diversity in New England's art scene. PLUS: With a variety of potential threats facing the region at any given time, the Massachusetts Emergency Management Agency recently teamed up with leaders around New England to launch a brand new training center for first responders and municipal employees. Dawn Brantley, Acting Director of MEMA, talks with Nichole about what this new center will do to help emergency managers respond more effectively to climate change, cyber attacks, storms, and much more.
