    Amid ongoing nationwide efforts to put restrictions on teaching specific segments of American history, the National Center for Civil and Human Rights has launched a free learning portal to expand access. It aids teachers and parents in bringing a complete history about civil and human rights to students. Nicole Moore, who serves as the director of education for the National Center for Civil and Human Rights, talks more about the portal that offers ready-to-go lesson plans, worksheets and other interactive tools. She also explains how the lessons are taught to help students connect with their history.  Plus, the Atlanta E-bike Rebate Program launched in 2024 with the goal of eliminating financial barriers to e-bike ownership, reducing transportation costs, and promoting a shift from car-dependent travel. The program was funded by a $1 million investment from the Atlanta City Council and administered by the Atlanta Regional Commission in partnership with Propel ATL.  Bennett Foster, the managing director of mobility at the Atlanta Regional Commission, and LaMiiko Moore, a recipient of the e-bike rebate, talk with Rose about a new report that details specifics about the E-bike Rebate Program—such as who received the citywide rebate, and how the rebate was used.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    Atlanta’s first-ever inspector general resigns, citing bullying and intimidation

    On today's edition of "Closer Look with Rose Scott," we bring you an exclusive interview with the now outgoing Inspector General for the City of Atlanta. This follows our series of interviews with Shannon Manigault about the challenges she says have emerged while investigating alleged corruption, abuse and fraud within city government. During a press conference Monday morning, Manigault claims her investigations have been hindered, she’s faced bullying, and her family has been targeted. In stepping away from her position, this leaves behind dozens of open investigations into Atlanta government officials which she describes as “serious.” Her announcement also comes just before the Atlanta City Council is expected to vote on legislation that would limit the control of the inspector general’s office. Today, Manigault speaks only to “Closer Look” to discuss her decision and why she says there was never a pathway to compromise in working with city officials.
