*"Rebuilding Public Health from the Bottom Up as Pandemics Surge"**with 
Dr. Howard Ehrman*


Since 1980 Public Health in the U.S. & most of the western world has 
suffered enormous cutbacks, privatization and balkanization. The U.S.

*12/6 - “Where is the Hope?” with Rev. June R. Cooper*
Signs of Hope-Derrick Bell a noted Harvard Professor wrote a book called 
Faces at the Bottom of the Well, The Permanence of Racism (1992) in 
which he states that racism is a permanent feature of American society. 
Do we accept this claim or do we see hope rising for recent protest and 
calls for police reform? *Music by Beatrice Greene*

*12/13 - "From Here to Doomsday: Endless Wars and Insane Nuclear Policy 
Since the Pentagon Papers." with **Sacco & Vanzetti Awardee Daniel 
Ellsberg* Daniel Ellsberg is an American economist, political activist, 
and former United States military analyst who, while employed by 
the RAND Corporation, precipitated a national political controversy in 
1971 when he released the /Pentagon Papers/, a top-secret Pentagon study 
of the U.S. government decision-making in relation to the Vietnam War, 
to /The New York Times/, the Washington Post and other 
newspapers./ (photo: Christopher Michel)/ *Music by Tim Ray and Dan 
Greenspan*

*12/20 - "The Culture of Despair" with Chris Hedges* The rupture of 
social bonds throughout American society has created a culture of 
despair, one where individuals and groups seek affirmation in acts of 
self-destruction. How do we restore those bonds? And if we cannot what 
will it mean for the United States and the world? *Music by Dean Stevens 
and Rob Flax*
