Voices in Union: with Reggie Jackson and Maria Hamilton - is a weekly podcast that focuses on the African American Diaspora in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. It connects local concerns to national trends on social justice, and educates the general population on the historical context of those issues. The program’s purpose is to build understanding, with a message of hope and reconciliation, and to offer underrepresented voices a platform to be heard.
This episode talks about how COVID-19 is still affecting the Black population even though many act like the pandemic does not exist, the unsafe plan to re-open schools that puts children and families at risk, and the value of Black lives as essential workers.
