The Commonwealth Beat with Laura LeBeau - Episode 22 - 2/4/2024

The Commonwealth Beat with Laura LeBeau is a statewide Public Affairs program airing on all Seven Mountains Media Pennsylvania radio stations. A new report out this week details some very disturbing findings regarding students of color at the Commonwealth's public universities.  They're facing racial harassment, racial stereotypes and all out racism on their campuses, making them feel unwelcome at school.  The report was compiled by PA Senator Art Haywood and PA Human Relations Commission Executive Director Chad Dion Lassiter, who talks about what it all means.  In the PA-mazing segment, it's off to Pottsville, Schuylkill County, to hear all about America's oldest brewery, D. G. Yuengling & Sons.  Debbie Yuengling, part of the 6th generation of that family discusses her the company and its legacy, some 195 years after the founding of the brewery.
