Best of Flashpoint: Kate Smith Muted, Campaign for Forgiveness and Flower Lady

from Bridging Philly · host Audacy

Host and KYW Newsradio community affairs reporter Cherri Gregg takes a look back at some of the "best of" Flashpoint. Since Nike made headlines after pulling it's Max Air 1's from the shelves after Colin Kaepernick argued that the Betsy Ross era flag featured on the shoe is a racist symbol-- we at Flashpoint were reminded of the Kate Smith controversy. Lou Scheinfeld, a former VP with the Flyers, Dr. Chad Dion Lassiter, executive director of Pennsylvania Commission on Human Relations and Jennifer Fleeger, associate professor of media and communication studies at Ursinus College are debaters. The best of newsmaker is Luis Berrios, who was shot in the back during a robbery outside of his North Philadelphia home last November and set out on a crusade for forgiveness. The "best of" changemaker of the week is Patricia Gallagher aka "The Flower Lady," founder of the Happy Flowers Project. See omnystudio.com/policies/listener for privacy information.
