Will you have health coverage by Jan. 31? What does “phubbing” means? WNHH radio’s latest broadcasts asked those and other questions.
Ebony Rice, national director of young Americans and women’s engagement for Enroll America, wants to know if people will have health care coverage by the end of the month. With Khadija Gurnah, program manager for the American Muslim Health Professionals’ (AMHP) Affordable Care Act outreach and enrollment efforts, and Inner City News CT Managing Editor Babz Rawls-Ivy, she joined Mubarakah Ibrahim for “Mornings with Mubarakah” to discuss the importance of the Affordable Care Act, the open enrollment deadline for which is approaching. If you are not enrolled, each of them urged listeners, there is still time: the ACA website, and special healthcare events, like Youth Enrollment Day are a good way to learn more.

Wednesday’s “This Day in New Haven History” helped you get to know Robert Goldberg, rabbi of Mishkan Israel synagogue, now in Hamden. Goldberg recalled in 1987 how he was one of a small army of clergy – 60 ministers and 10 rabbis – joining MLK in the summer of 1962 to march for civil rights in Albany, Georgia. Goldberg, among those arrested, recalled one of the guards on the way to the Albany jail declaring, “Let’s kill all these damn Jews and finish up Hitler’s work.” To listen to the full episode, click on or download the audio above.
On this Thursday in New Haven History, John Daniels pondered whether he should run for mayor of New Haven, according to Khalid Lum’s article in the old print New Haven Independent. There were other black politicians – including Newhallville Alder Chuck Allen — thinking of challenging the Democratic machine and Mayor Biagio DiLieto because “the mayor has so repressed and neglected issues of concern to our communities.” Propelled in part by the energies unloosed by the civil rights movement and MLK, Daniels emerged as the city’s first black mayor.
