New Episode of Neglected Stories: People, History, Movements
Tune in this Saturday, March 15, from 10-11 AM on Germantown Community Radio, 92.9 FM and www.gtownradio.com, for an urgent conversation about the fate of the Community Reinvestment Act (CRA).
Host Pedro Rodriguez sits down with Jimmy Duran, executive director of Vincent Homes in Germantown, to discuss the history and impact of the CRA—a law designed to prevent redlining and ensure banks invest in working-class communities and communities of color. For decades, the CRA has helped bring housing, business opportunities, and economic stability to neighborhoods that banks once ignored. More than $2 trillion dollars have been invested via the CRA in low and moderate income communities since 1992, according to the National Community Reinvestment Coalition. But now, under the Trump Administration, efforts are underway to weaken or even erase this critical legislation.
What does this mean for Philadelphia? How will it affect struggling communities across the country? And what can be done to fight back?

The fight for justice often crosses borders. In this episode of Neglected Stories: People, History, Movements, we delve into the solidarity movement that shaped U.S.-Panama relations during the 1970s and 1980s. As the incoming U.S. President hints at retaking control of the Panama Canal, this issue resurfaces with urgency, reminding us of a pivotal chapter in history when Philadelphia stood at the forefront of change.
Joining host Pedro Rodriguez is Mary Day Kent, a Northwest Philadelphia resident and president of the local chapter of the United Nations Association. Kent was deeply involved in the grassroots efforts that amplified the Panamanian people’s demands to reclaim control of the Panama Canal. These efforts helped pressure the Carter Administration to sign the Torrijos-Carter Treaties in 1977, ensuring the canal's transfer to Panama by 1979.
This episode sheds light on how Philadelphians organized events, educated the public, and built coalitions with Panamanian activists to challenge imperialist narratives. Kent shares her firsthand experiences, insights into the strategies that worked, and reflections on the ongoing significance of this historic victory for sovereignty and international solidarity.
