You may remember the dialogue on race and the presidential election that NPR was having with a bunch of York-area residents.
They wanted someplace in a swing state, in an area populated enough where a lot of the big issues would be relevant, that was relatively easy to get to from their home base in Washington, D.C. And York fit the bill on all counts.
Frankly, I was a little surprised to discover that the history of race riots had nothing to do with it. Oh well. It's not like York had a monopoly on racial discord in the 1960s.
Anyway -- as promised, they came back to town after the election for a follow-up. Give it a look and a listen.
