Week 4 of Legislative Session: Antisemitism Bill; New cityhood movement in Gwinnett County: NPR Host shares HBCU experience in new book

Governor Brian Kemp is expected to sign House Bill 30, which defines antisemitism as criticism of the Israeli government and Zionism, into law on Wednesday. WABE politics reporter Rahul Bali returns to “Closer Look” to discuss the signing and the latest news happening at the Georgia State Capitol.

Plus, House Bill 869 and Senate Bill 333 are two proposed bills that are making their way through the Georgia General Assembly that support the creation of the City of Mulberry in Gwinnett County. Majority Leader Chuck Efstration represents House District 104 and sponsored House Bill 869. He joins the program to discuss the legislation that has been heavily opposed by Gwinnett County commissioners.

Lastly, NPR’s Weekend Edition Sunday host Ayesha Rascoe discusses her new book, “HBCU Made: A Celebration of the Black College Experience.” The book is a collection of essays from alumni of historically Black colleges and universities, and how these schools shaped their lives.
