Patchwork Nation: Race and education issues permeate “Minority Central”

By John Hockenberry, Adaora Udoji, Adnaan Wasey

Thursday, October 9 2008

The Takeaway continues its ongoing look at America as a "patchwork" nation rather than a collection of red and blue states. This time, we focus on “Minority Central,” a group of 408 counties that are home to large pockets of black and Native American voters.

Guest: Dante Chinni is the director of The Christian Science Monitor’s Patchwork Nation Project. Dante visits and writes about the 11 categories of community that he’s assigned based on social and economic data.
