A Word: Build Black Better

Baltimore is one of many aging American cities that is plagued with
both a lack of affordable housing, and a surplus of vacant homes.
But a local non-profit is addressing both those issues, and
teaching community members to rebuild their neighborhoods one house
at a time. On today’s episode of A Word, Jason Johnson is joined by
Shelley Halstead, who founded Black Women Build in
Baltimore.  Guest: Shelley Halstead, founder of Black Women
