The year 2020 created plenty of issues to
debate on our front porches this summer as we sat properly socially distanced.
COVID-19, presidential and local politics, social unrest over police brutality, and other ills facing the Black community.
Good old-fashioned talk radio is still a good option to hear about, acquire information, debate such issues, and give listeners an opportunity to express their views on them.

Donald Trump will compete against his Election Day opponent, Joe Biden, by holding a town hall on NBC at the same time Biden holds one on ABC.
By Bill Barrow and Will Weissert Associated Press WASHINGTON (AP) — The early months of Joe Biden's third White House bid were marked with uneven debate performances and winding town halls in Iowa and New Hampshire. That contrast to the loquacious, eloquent young senator who first sought the presidency 33 years ago, struck even some friendly Democrats and fed the Republican narrative that the 77-year-old was no longer fit to lead. Biden did much to dispel that caricature Thursday night during his 24-minute address accepting the Democratic Party's presidential nomination. His performance validates at least some of the frustrations the […]

Back to the New Normal
Business as usual, was the urge of the Malian National Committee for the Salvation of the People (NCSP) spokesperson, Ismael Wague, after the military coup d’état ousting the now ex-president Ibrahim Boubacar Keita on Tuesday evening. Following the celebrations at the Independence Square in Bamako shortly after the coup, many in the city seem to have heeded that call.
A Bamako resident, Abdoulaye Diakité, is feeling tranquil, \"They have to think about Mali. At the moment you see people are living well, they are relaxed, may God make it continue...may the military think about Mali and carry out a good transition very quickly.
In spite of the permeating optimism around the city, there is the very real concern of an already economically-challenged economy — also facing sanctions by ECOWAS, risking total collapse. A disconcerting potential evolution of events if the transition of power to civilians does not take place as promised, and efficiently.
The Calm Before the Storm?
With the threat of the Islamist terrorist activity still in the region and the ongoing continent-wide covid-19 pandemic, this political crisis leaves the country at a very delicate crossroads.
Nevertheless, many locals such as Ismaïel Maïga, appear both decided and hopeful, \"I think that the military must collaborate with civil society, the people, especially M5, who for the past three months have been on the streets demanding the resignation of former President IBK.”
An air of hopeful expectation that time will be defined in time as the NCSP has stated its intention for general elections to appoint a transitional military or civil president are foreseen as soon as possible

“A People’s Guide to Greater Boston,” out now from the University of California Press, is a very readable text but one that’s hard to define.
