HITC 11 08 2011

from Hear in the City · host Sara Harris

This month, we’ll be launching our new series on oil exploration and drilling right in the middle of residential Los Angeles. It’s called Air Check: pollution and petroleum from a community perspective. It’s complicated. It involves oil rigs in the middle of the city, and it involves multiple agencies. You are welcome you to visit our website, www.hearinthecity.org to get a taste of who we’ll be hearing from in our reporting. Today, we wanted to follow up on an international story we've been covering from L.A. Liberians went to the polls on Tuesday, for a second round of voting in a run-off election for the country’s president. We bring you an interview with three leaders in the Liberian community in L.A. to talk about the recent Nobel Peace shared by activist Leyma Gbowee and President Sirleaf Johnson with a young Yemeni journalist: all women.
