  • National Center for Civil and Human Rights expansion highlights Atlanta’s influence
    Oct 17 2025

    The National Center for Civil and Human Rights has been closed since January 2025 for a major renovation that is nearly complete. The museum, which first opened in 2014, documents the stories of the civil rights movement and global human rights struggles. Now, the Atlanta-based cultural hub will include new east and west wings that house a café, several additional galleries—including one designed for children—three classrooms, and an expanded event space.

    As crews worked to install the final additions, “Closer Look” program host Rose Scott and the team stopped by NCCHR for a behind-the-scenes look at some of the new changes. Jill Savitt, president and CEO of NCCHR, who led the effort, guided Scott and the team through the upgraded facility. She highlighted how some of the museum’s new features and experiences will enhance the visitor experience and continue to further the museum's mission of being an educational gathering space for reflection, dialogue, and change. NCCHR will reopen to the public on Nov. 8.

    Oct 16 2025

    Research shows breast cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death in women in the U.S. Data also reveals that in a group of eight women, one will be diagnosed with breast cancer. Additionally, there’s been a growing increase in the number of younger women being diagnosed with breast cancer. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, at least 27,136 women under the age of 45 were diagnosed with breast cancer in 2022. October marks National Breast Cancer Awareness Month. On Thursday’s edition of “Closer Look,” program host Rose Scott talks with guests about everything from diagnosis to treatment, as well as the importance of younger women participating in clinical research trials.

    Guests included:

    Ashley Kennedy, a breast cancer survivor and participant of the 2025 Komen Georgia MORE THAN PINK Walk

    Theru Ross, the senior program manager of community outreach at Susan G. Komen

    Dr. Joel Okoli, a professor of surgery in the division of Surgical Oncology at Morehouse School of Medicine

    Plus, it's the end of an era. EATS, which is regarded as a neighborhood cafeteria, is closing after nearly 33 years. We hear from Robert "Bob" Hatcher, the owner of the eatery known for its meat-and-three format. He reflects on the day the restaurant opened and thanked his customers for making the restaurant part of the community.

  • MSNBC Host Rachel Maddow reveals compelling moments of Andrew Young documentary; Interim MARTA CEO shares vision for transit system; Upcoming festival focuses on creating compassionate communities
    Oct 15 2025

    Civil rights champion Andrew Young has held many positions, including a U.S. congressman, ambassador, and Atlanta Mayor. He was also a top aide to Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. His life’s story, in his own words, is the focus of a new documentary. It’s called “Andrew Young: The Dirty Work.” Ahead of the film’s debut on MSNBC this Friday, October 17, Rachel Maddow, an Emmy-winning MSNBC host and author, who served as the executive producer of the documentary, reflects on Young’s legacy, his life’s work of championing civil rights and her process in documenting his story through film.

    Plus, post-pandemic, MARTA, as well as many other transit systems across the nation, are grappling with some of the same challenges. This includes declining ridership, funding instability, aging infrastructure, and competition from rideshare companies. Jonathan Hunt, who was recently appointed interim CEO and general manager of MARTA, talks with Rose about new initiatives to address lingering challenges ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup and his vision for Georgia’s largest transit system.

    Lastly, Compassionate Atlanta is gearing up to host its 4th annual CompassionCon. The one-day event, described as a fusion between conference and festival, aims to promote compassion across organizations, schools, businesses, churches and communities and more. We hear from the co-directors of Compassionate Atlanta, Leanne Rubenstein and Iyabo Onipede. They talk more about the event and their nonprofit’s ongoing efforts to champion compassion across Georgia.
