Earlier this week, the nation honored the life and legacy of Martin Luther King Jr., a man who devoted his life to racial and social justice in America.

While the US has made much progress on issues of race and equality since the 1960s, we still have so much work to do … as this past year reminded us over and over again. 

In the summer of 2020, at the height of social unrest, we talked to two people at the forefront of the fight for racial equality here in Pittsburg: D'Andre Phillips Coble, then the president of the Pittsburg State University Black Student Association, and Deatrea Rose, the university’s chief diversity officer. 

On this episode of Around the Block, D'Andre and Deatrea are back to talk about what, if any, progress has been made since we last spoke.
