JUNE 19, 2021

One in five Americans rely on rural hospitals for health care services. This week, we revisit a facility in rural Texas that’s one of hundreds fighting to keep their doors open. Plus, Soledad talks to Ilyasah Shabazz about her parents, Malcolm X and Dr. Betty Shabazz, and her family’s legacy. Then, a look at the work of Benjamin Banneker, one of the first cicada researchers. And, in the VIEWFINDER, we show you the Emancipation Heritage Trail being proposed in Texas.
