Italian Americans in Newton Are Up in Arms! The primarily Italian American neighborhood of Nonantum in Newton is outraged over a 90-year-old road marker that was painted over. For decades, the center line down Adams Street has been red, white, and green, the colors of the Italian flag. Last week, the city of Newton had the colors painted over with a yellow line, citing safety reasons. A majority of Nonantum residents prided themselves on the Italian flag road marker and are upset over this change just three weeks before the St. Mary of Carmen Society Italian Festival and parade. Did the neighborhood deserve to be included in discussions over a change in the road marker? Newton residents as well as the Newton Mayor Ruthanne Fuller, join Dan this evening to discuss!
Trump Admin. Turns Up the Heat on Harvard. After a federal investigation, the Trump Administration found Harvard University violated civil rights law by failing to protect Jewish and Israeli students on campus. As a result of their findings, the Trump Admin. sent a letter to Harvard University President Alan Garber, threatening to cut all of Harvard’s federal funding if Harvard fails to immediately institute changes on campus. Dan will discuss the Department of Health and Human Services’ Office of Civil Rights findings into the investigation of Harvard and hear your reaction!
