The 21st Show

The 21st—Monday, February 24, 2020

 

A University of Illinois professor who faced accusations of sexual harassment was set to return to teaching last month.  Now, a new report is out with more claims against him from 15 women. We got the latest on this year’s-long case sparked by the MeToo movement. 

And, whenever it rains in a town near East St. Louis, Illinois, wastewater floods into people’s yards and homes. Residents are concerned about their health, and say public officials are doing little to help. 

Plus, we talked about efforts to preserve black history in Springfield, and ask what else needs to be done.
