Racquel Williams talks with representatives from JEVS, Pegasus, and LNESC - a nonprofit that works with JEVS to place students in meaningful work experiences - as well as a student who worked at Pegasus this summer.Then, on Shara in the City, break dancing made its first appearance in the Olympics this year - and with questions over how the culture was represented on an international stage, it might not be back. Shara Dae Howard talks with some Philly OG breakers to get their takes and learn a few moves.
