Description

The NYPD is investigating two separate shootings in Brooklyn and Queens that left two men dead over the weekend. In other news, Harvey Weinstein’s lawyer says the onetime movie mogul is in the hospital. This happened soon after the New York Court of Appeals overturned his 2020 rape conviction. Also, New York City Mayor Eric Adams is defending his refusal to restore funding to the city’s public libraries despite better-than-expected tax revenues. Plus, WNYC’s Community Partnerships Desk is highlighting community treasures across the five boroughs, like a space in Brooklyn devoted to showcasing Black women and Black non-binary writers. Finally, for National Poetry Month, WNYC is playing poems from our listeners. Here’s one from Stacey Khan in Crown Heights.
