Tampa Bay leaders Gwen Henderson and Arthenia Joyner talk politics, education & civil rights

from Florida Matters · host WUSF Public Media

This week, we talk with two Black women who are leaders in the community and who have each taken a different approach to politics. Former State Senator Arthenia Joyner was the first Black woman to serve as Senate Minority leader in the Florida legislature. We’ll hear from her later in the program. And long time educator Gwen Henderson is a first time Tampa City Council member and owner of Black English bookstore in Tampa Heights, which she opened last December. We visited Black English bookstore to talk with Henderson about being an educator, books, politics and her priorities for the district she represents. Later in the program, we sit down with Joyner for a conversation about politics, civil rights, and her trailblazing career as a lawyer and state lawmaker.
