Chinatown’s fight for their community | A second chance from Gift of Life

from Bridging Philly · host Audacy

Chinatown residents fought against a new 76ers arena in their neighborhood for two years. Just when they thought they had lost, the Sixers changed course and decided to rebuild where they are in South Philly. Racquel Williams talks with two Chinatown community leaders in the wake of this whiplash, to hear how they feel about the final decision, why this was such an important battle to them, and what Chinatown residents and businesses owners want to see in the Market East corridor now.Then, on Shara in the City, we return to the Awbury Arboretum grief garden to spend more time with those loveable goats. Shara Dae Howard meets a mother who got a second chance at life through Gift of Life Donor Program and her daughter, as they walk through the garden and reflect.
