How a group of determined Black women are saving a block in West Baltimore - a podcast by Marketplace

Just a few years ago, 78-year-old Poinsetta McKnight was the last homeowner living on the 1900 block of Etting Street in Baltimore. The street bore the scars of redlining, but with the help of the nonprofit Black Women Build – Baltimore, the block has come back to life. More than half a dozen homes have or are being renovated by and sold to Black women at affordable prices, with plans for further development and community building in the works. Plus: Unpacking today’s inflation numbers; supply chain issues come to a bookstore near you; and two young nurses on why burnout in health care is so severe right now.
