Beginning today, the DC Government will have to feed people housed in city shelters without the assistance of the independent nonprofit DC Central Kitchen which has provided food free-of-charge for the past 17 years. We look at how the city will meet its obligation, and why DC Central Kitchen has (at least temporarily) severed its relationship with the city.

Have a half-century of efforts aimed at advancing the rights of black Americans actually had the opposite effect? Research scholar Shelby Steele argues that many programs designed to remedy racial disparities have more to do with self-satisfaction of white Americans than improving the lives of Blacks. He joins Kojo to discuss his provocative thesis.
Shelby Steele, Research Fellow, Stanford University's Hoover Institution; and author of "White Guilt: How Blacks & Whites Together Destroyed the Promise of the Civil Rights Era" (Harper Collins)
