This week on Moving Forward, the Young Voices radio show, we hear from contributors Oscar Gill-Lewis, William Barclay, Logan Calendine and Brian Nuckols.
Why are those nations which decisively ended the practice of slavery in their societies still on the hook for reparations? Oscar Gill-Lewis describes how one activist's past statements are putting a massive financial liability over the U.K.
Hamas and Israel have finally reached a ceasefire. However, as William Barclay explains, there's still a great deal of antisemitism at work in the West.
The FDA's proposal to drastically reduce the allowable levels of nicotine in cigarettes may seem like a good idea at first glance. Logan Calendine warns that the new standard has a very low chance of further shrinking the number of smokers.
Meta has walked back its fact-checking aspirations and that has some folks worried about misinformation reaching the public. Brian Nuckols says, you don't need big tech to fact-check for you.
