Wednesday’s programs on WNHH radio examined the big question of the day — what just happened in Tuesday’s elections? — and offered some roadmaps (and road trips) for what to do next.
Hosts of the newly created “All of Us” program, Hanifa Washington and Greg Grinberg, talk about Trump’s win in the election, and what that means for New Haven — a majority minority, sanctuary city — and its residents going forward. They also invite New Haveners to “A Community Conversation” happening Friday evening at Lyric Hall to speak together about constructive ways to react together.

“Mornings with Mubarakah” host Mubarakah Ibrahim speaks to attorney Tahirah Amatul-Wadud, legal counsel for a Muslim congregation in New York and an executive board member for CAIR-Massachusetts, and CAIR Connecticut Executive Director Mongi Dhaouadi about Muslim-American responses to Donald Trump’s rise to 45th president of the United States, and what their communities can do now.

On “Dateline New Haven,” Democratic State Rep. Roland Lemar and GOP Town Chair Jonathan Wharton agree that Tuesday’s election was a revolt against elites in both parties, that the state legislature will also change because of the election, and that all sides can still find ways work together to improve New Haven and Connecticut.

Welcome to This Day In Crime Spree History as your host Allan Appel and regular co-pilot Jason Bischoff Wurstle of the New Haven Museum time-travel back to a shaken Elm City when a string of robberies of Yale students followed soon on by several murders of what one letter writer called “impressive and horrible ferocity” ignited an early debate about the deterrent power of public hanging, which is what they called capital punishment in 1849.
