from First Things First With Dominique DiPrima · host KBLA Talk 1580

Gary Indiana and Memphis Tennessee are both majority Black cities that recently suffered massive storms causing widespread power outages. Why is it taking so long for them to get their power back? What is the impact of data centers on the crisis? And why are Black people so much more likely to suffer these increasingly common impacts of the climate emergency? Adam Mahoney is the national climate and environment reporter at Capital B News; a nonprofit newsroom focused on the Black experience. https://capitalbnews.org/ https://www.dominiquediprima.com/
