Youth Issues The Sound of Ideas (Ohio Public Radio) | December 7, 2006
Every day on The Sound of Ideas, we hear adult perspectives – we talk about education, the economy, and the events and trends that are changing our neighborhoods. But there are voices from those neighborhoods we don’t often hear. So Thursday morning, we’re taking some time to talk to young people. It’s going to be a special program, where we’ll hear from a panel of local teens and take questions from a live studio audience. We invite you to join us for a conversation Thursday morning for The Sound of Ideas. Listen here

In mid-December, Oakland residents held a town meeting and discussed what some see as a dangerously large number of liquor stores in African American neighborhoods. Youth Radio’s Anyi Howell is upset that his community has had to deal with this recent round of vandalism…incidents Howell says the local media has misinterpreted.
