This is the rundown for Radio Boston for May 25. Our host is Tiziana Dearing.

  • The Rev. Mariama White-Hammond, founding pastor of the New Roots African Methodist Episcopal Church in Dorchester, joins us to reflect on yesterday's mass shooting in Texas.
  • Today marks two years since Minneapolis police killed George Floyd, sparking a global outcry and days of protest against racism and police brutality in the U.S.  U.S. Attorney for Massachusetts Rachael Rollins shared her reflections on this anniversary and the wider protest movement.
  • For the next few weeks, we'll be bringing you a series of conversations on leadership we're calling "Stepping Up." The segments, which will air on Wednesdays, are all about talking with folks in and around Greater Boston whose work or roles are profoundly changing their communities. Today, Geeta Pradhan, president of the Cambridge Community Foundation, joins us.

This program aired on May 25, 2022.
