This is the Radio Boston rundown for February 21. Tiziana Dearing is our host.

  • In our latest edition of From the Newsroom, we dig into the renewed push for police officers to wear body cameras in Cambridge.
  • In his new memoir, "School Clothes," local author and professor Jarvis Givens collects memories of going to school from Black children in America, past and present. Through them he finds a common theme - that going to school, no matter what that looks like, is an act of resistance for Black kids.
  • Cambridge author Celeste Ng became a national figure after her second book, "Little Fires Everywhere" was a huge success. Her most recent book, "Our Missing Hearts," set in Harvard Square, depicts a dystopian world that feels eerily realistic. We revisit a conversation we had with Ng just days after the book's release.

This program aired on February 21, 2023.
