I stopped by Elmira’s newest restaurant, the WMC North. The food is delicious, jazz is starting up and the owners are the fabulous Sue and Kaylen Knox, who we featured in our documentary “3 generations of chefs”. Stop in and say hi.

Dr. Clemmie Harris discusses his experience in law enforcement and how that influenced his understanding of the role of law enforcement in US race relations. After serving as a New York State Trooper, Dr. Harris went on to receive his PhD in History with a focus on "electoral and protest politics, race and inequality, and the African Diaspora." He sat down with ECCA to explain the parallels between Judas and the Black Messiah, set in the late 1960s, and our current political and racial environment. As they say, those who do not learn from their history, are doomed to repeat it.
