WABE politics reporter Sam Gringlas returns to “Closer Look,” to provide an update on the latest news from the Gold Dome, including a variety of proposed bills involving transgender athletes, Gov. Kemp’s civil litigation reform package, gun safety and Medicaid expansion.

 

Plus, WABE, in partnership with the Atlanta History Center and the National Center for Civil and Human Rights, recently held a public screening of the documentary “American Coup: Wilmington 1898.” The film, slated to air on WABE TV on Feb. 23, at 6 P.M., explores the 1898 deadly race massacre and insurrection that happened in North Carolina’s largest city.
