A unique tour bus of musicians, actors, activists and poets have been touring major cities to bring awareness of climate change’s disproportionate affect on people of color. We talk to organizers and participants of this bus tour. In our last segment on Puerto Rico’s debt crisis, we touched on the factors that led to its decade­long recession, population loss and the neoliberal factors causing the Caribbean Island’s decade­long recession. We get an update on the situation in the commonwealth. The Global African host Bill Fletcher explores these stories with Rev. Graylan Hagler, Pastor at Plymouth Congregational United Church of Christ, and Frank Charnas, CEO and co­founder of Afrique Consulting.
