On today’s Closer Look with Rose Scott, we have an on-scene report from Emory University by WABE Reporter Chamian Cruz. Protesters of the Israel-Hamas war clashed with law enforcement today, leading to several arrests. Also, Host Rose Scott interviews Morehouse College’s Provost and Senior Vice President for Academic Affairs, Dr. Kendrick Brown, about the backlash to President Joe Biden’s scheduled commencement address for next month’s graduation.




Then, we continue with Part 2 of our Maternal Healthcare Series. As of 2020, 82 of Georgia’s 159 counties have no OB/GYNs, while another 15 only have one. We discuss the challenges of accessing obstetrics and gynecological care in Georgia’s rural communities with our guests, Dr. Keisha Reneé Callins, an OB/GYN with Community Health Care Systems, and Dr. Joy Baker, an OB/GYN with Wellstar Obstetrics and Gynecology. 




We conclude our series with a discussion focusing on the outreach programs for pregnant women in difficult situations, such as fleeing their home country or incarceration. Joining the conversation from Embrace - Refugee Birth Support are Muzhda Oriakhil, the Community Engagement Manager & Afghani Community Liaison, and Director Virginia Voyles Tester. Also, from Motherhood Beyond Bars is Program Director Vanessa Garrett and Executive Director Amy Ard.
