The much anticipated first and maybe only debate between Pres. Joe Biden and former Pres. Donald Trump took place Thursday night in Atlanta. We hear insight from politics contributor, strategist and analyst Fred Hicks, former Wisconsin Congressman Scott Klug and GSU politics and policy professor Tammy Greer. The guests also discuss what's next for the Republican and Democratic parties in terms of national campaign strategies.

Plus, from the Morehouse School of Medicine, Dr. Rick Kittles, the senior vice president for research, discusses a $20 million grant from the U.S. National Science Foundation. The award is meant to provide more equitable funding for HBCUs competing in the research ecosystem, including Atlanta's Spelman College, Morehouse School of Medicine, Morehouse College and Clark Atlanta University.

Lastly from WABE’s Beyond Pride Series, we learn how a community basketball league has created a new gathering spot for people in the transgender community.
