Valley Edition: August 30 - Schools And Segregation; Crime In Bakersfield; Marijuana; Drought Study

Valley Public Radio

This week on Valley Edition KVPR's Jeffrey Hess reports on the links between police violence and health. We are also joined by the Fresno Bee's Mackenzie Mays to talk about a study on segregation in schools that shows a disparity between Clovis and Fresno schools. We also hear from Bakersfield Californian's Steven Mayer about how a lot of crime in Bakersfield comes out of a specific neighborhood. Ending the show we hear from FM89's Ezra David Romero about a new study in progress linking health and the drought.
