Host and KYW Newsradio Community Affairs reporter Cherri Gregg asks the burning questions in the aftermath of false Blackface allegations against the Mummers. We walk through the flames of this discussion with Charles Gallagher, a LaSalle sociology professor who is a nationally recognized expert on race and ethnicity, Mikhel Harrison, State Director of Indivisible who organized a protest against the Mummer's New Year's Day performance and Michael Inemer, longtime Mummer and Captain of the Finnegan NYB. The Flashpoint newsmaker of the week is Jeff Brown, President and CEO of Brown Superstores. He made headlines when he announced he has no choice but to close his Shoprite in Overbrook because of the soda tax. Our changemaker of the week is Footprints to Recovery. Bridgette Vail, executive director of the Wayne Facility provided details about their "Socks of Love," initiative. Flashpoint airs every Saturday at 9:30pm and Sunday at 8:30am on KYW Newsradio.
