    Basic Black:  Free Community College and Black Americans' Trust in the News

    This week, a recent survey conducted by the PEW Research Center, found that Black Americans said there are a range of issues on how the media reports stories about Black people, and more care is needed.  We’ll have a panelist joining us remotely at the top of the episode to discuss some of the findings from the report. Then, a discussion about Free Community College. About 33 states offer free tuition. Now in Massachusetts, residents, 25 and older without a degree can apply to attend community college for free, through Mass Re-Connect, a program Gov. Healey launched. The panelists discuss how the program can help change the economic outlook for many students of color of the newly popular program.

    Panelists:

    Ronald Mitchell co-owner, editor and publisher, The Bay State Banner (remote)

    Jackie Jenkins Scott, Interim President, Roxbury Community College

    Patrick Tutwiler, Ph.D., Massachusetts Secretary of Education
