Indigenous People and America’s 250th Anniversary; Remembering Peabo Bryson; Conference assists hopeful LGBTQ+ fathers
About this episode
The episode features discussions on the significance of America's 250th anniversary for Indigenous Peoples, a remembrance of soul singer Peabo Bryson, and insights from the Men Having Babies conference for LGBTQ+ fathers.
On today’s Closer Look with Rose Scott , we hear from a panel of Native Americans who reflect on what the 250th anniversary of the nation means to them as descendants of the country’s original inhabitants. Then, we revisit our interview with legendary soul singer Peabo Bryson, who died Tuesday in Marietta at the age of 75. Known as “The Voice of Love,” Bryson was a two-time Grammy winner. Lastly, we speak with the organizers of the Men Having Babies conference. The event returns to Atlanta to assist men, including those in the LGBTQ+ community, about how to navigate the adoption and surrogacy process, while tackling the legal challenges and high costs.
