7-17-13: City schools CEO Tisha Edwards, finding minority bone marrow donors, and large-format photos




WYPR: Maryland Morning with Sheilah Kast Podcast show

Summary: July 17, 2013 Tisha Edwards is just a few weeks into her year as interim Chief Executive Officer of the Baltimore City Public Schools. She’s here! We’ll ask her about renovating the schools, the new Common Core Curriculum, and what she most wants to accomplish. Then, African-Americans have much lower odds than white patients of finding a bone-marrow donor. Why is that? And what’s it like trying to find that match? We talk to a Randallstown man with leukemia, and the legislative director of a bone-marrow organization. And, Tom Hall talks with photographer Will Knipscher about the art of large-format photography and his new exhibition at Full Circle gallery, "Evening's Empire". Plus, the Maryland Morning Culture Calendar.
