NNS’s Adam Carr spoke with WUWM’s Joy Powers of “Lake Effect” for our monthly “5 Things” feature focusing on both the protests and pandemic.

This month’s list includes our collection of community voices responding to the death of George Floyd, discussion of the protests and livestreams, historical context through our “Long March to Freedom” project, information on COVID-19 testing and our photography project celebrating the Class of 2020.
