LinkedIn

The issue of race on the Eastern Shore has often been a troubled one. On the next Delmarva Today host Don Rush talks with UMES Emeritus Professor Jack Wennersten, author of a new book "Strange Fruit: Racism and Community Life in the Chesapeake -- 1850 to the Present", about how the region has coped with its troubled past. Here is a brief preview with the full interview to air on Friday at 9 a.m. on WSDL 90.7 FM.

Don Rush is the News Director and Senior Producer of News and Public Affairs at Delmarva Public Media. An award-winning journalist, Don reports major local issues of the day, from sea level rise, to urban development, to the changing demographics of Delmarva.
