Atlanta rates the highest for eviction filings; Update on Ebola outbreak
About this episode
The episode discusses eviction rates in Atlanta and the ongoing Ebola outbreak in central Africa.
On today’s “ Closer Look with Rose Scott ,” we have an in-depth discussion with the Atlanta Legal Aid Society about a study by Princeton University’s Eviction Lab. It shows Fulton, Cobb, DeKalb, Gwinnett, and Clayton Counties lead the nation in evictions . Those evictions overwhelmingly affected Black households -- more than white, Hispanic, and other racial groups combined. We also speak to Dr. Jodie Guest , Professor and Senior Vice Chair in the Department of Epidemiology at Emory University. The Ebola Virus is spreading quickly through central Africa and has already taken hundreds of lives. We learn more about the nature of the deadly illness and what’s being done to stop it from infecting more people. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
