Of the city’s more than 84,000 acres, almost 40,000 acres are covered by its tree canopy. However, that latest assessment by Georgia Tech shows Atlanta has lost a quarter of an acre of trees every day between 2008 and 2023. The city had a goal of reaching 50% canopy coverage, but Atlanta moved further away from that goal in the latest assessment, now dropping to 45.7% tree coverage. Officials from Trees Atlanta and Georgia Tech provide more details on the data, and what’s leading to the disappearing canopy.

“There was Detroit before Coleman Young and after Coleman Young and they're two different cities.” That powerful reflection from Khary Turner sets the tone for a conversation that moves effortlessly from laughter to legacy, reminding us that the stories we tell shape the future we build. What begins with the hilarious reality of the two Khary's constantly being mistaken for one another evolves into an intimate dialogue about creativity, mentorship, history, and civic responsibility. Turner explains why renaming Woodward after Coleman Young is more than symbolism, saying, “Coleman changed the heart of the city and Woodward is the heart artery of city streets,” connecting Detroit's geography to its political and cultural transformation. Throughout the episode, the conversation celebrates the value of listening, honoring elders, and preserving the memories that too often disappear with time. Turner reflects on learning from historians and longtime community leaders, sharing how he prefers to “close my mouth and open my ears” when they speak, recognizing that their experiences are living archives. This episode explores why Detroit's past cannot be separated from its future, revealing how creative people, community institutions, and honest storytelling become the foundation for stronger neighborhoods and deeper civic engagement. It is a conversation about identity, leadership, and why preserving Black Detroit's history is essential to inspiring the next generation to imagine and create an even greater future.

For 185 years, some of the most important chapters of American history have unfolded on a few blocks of Buffalo's East Side. In the third episode of our four-part Unpacked by Afar series, we walk the Michigan Street African American Heritage Corridor, the beating heart of Buffalo Black history, with the man who has made preserving it his life's work. Executive director Terry Alford grew up on these streets and is now leading their revival. He guides host Aislyn Greene through 185 years of Buffalo Black history: a church that was one of the last stops on the Underground Railroad, the home where the Niagara Movement was born, the club where jazz greats jammed until dawn because they weren't allowed to sleep in the hotels they had just played, and the radio station that became the megaphone of the Civil Rights movement. Then he shares how urban renewal nearly erased it all, and how he is fighting to bring it back, guided by the Ghanaian principle of Sankofa: move forward, but never forget where you came from. This is cultural travel at its most moving, a piece of American travel culture far too few people know. It is also one of the most powerful travel stories we have told, and a lesson in responsible travel: how to visit a place and honor the people whose stories made it. If Buffalo Black history is not yet on your list of American travel destinations, this episode, and this corridor, will change that. Meet this week's guest Terry Alford, executive director of the Michigan Street African American Heritage Corridor Commission Chapters 00:00 Buffalo's Black History 04:19 Underground Railroad to Jazz 10:02 Loss and Revival 13:42 A Vision for 2030 Where to go to explore Buffalo's Black history Michigan Street African American Heritage Corridor — Start at the visitor center and tour the anchor sites, all just steps apart.

When you start critically thinking, American History does not makes since. We are entering the twilight zone of un-Black History. Who is Sojourner Truth? Was she a fictional character? Is she just another rapper-turned actor? Dive in and listen.

In this week's episode of The Learning Curve, co-hosts Alisha Searcy of Strong Public Schools for Students and retired Milwaukee County Court Commissioner, Lindsey Draper, speak with Dr. Lerone Martin, Director of the Martin Luther King, Jr. Research and Education Institute at Stanford University and author of Young King: The Making of Martin Luther King, Jr. Drawing on his new book, Dr. Martin offers a compelling look at the experiences that shaped the young Martin Luther King, Jr., from the influence of his family, the Black church, and Jim Crow Atlanta to his early encounters with racism, his education at Morehouse College, and his growing sense of purpose in the ministry. He also discusses King's relationship with Coretta Scott, the couple's early years in Montgomery, Alabama, and the events that sparked the Montgomery Bus Boycott. Together, these formative experiences reveal how King's faith, character, and leadership developed long before he became one of the most influential figures of the American civil rights movement. Dr. Martin closes with a reading from Young King: The Making of Martin Luther King, Jr.
