John Dankosky hosted a discussion on the role of race during and after the Trayvon Martin trialm on WNPR’s Where We Live segment. Guests included Marilyn Alverio, of Ethnic Marketing Solutions and founder of Hartford’s Latinas & Power Symposium, Rev. Henry Brown, Adrienne Cochrane and Lt. Brian Foley.
