Segment 1: Where a new mother lives often affects her ability to find treatment

Kansas City medical professionals reviewed some of the resources available in the region and discussed the challenges of connecting those to the mothers who most need them.

Segment 2, beginning at 26:01: The business of remembering Emmett Till's murder in Mississippi
