The Goon Squad's legacy and a new novel by Jessica Anya Blau




WYPR: Maryland Morning with Sheilah Kast Podcast show

Summary: Fifty summers ago, protesters worked to desegregate Gwynn Oak Amusement Park in Baltimore County. Among them were members of the Goon Squad, a Baltimore civil rights group that included Dr. Homer Favor, a Morgan State Professor who died last month. We spoke with Dr. Favor about the work of the Goon Squad in April, along with members Lalit Ghadia and Patrick Scott. And, Tom Hall talks with writer Jessica Anya Blau about her new book the “The Wonder Bread Summer,” about a 20-something girl on the run from a hit man with a bread bag full of cocaine.
