Another View on Health: Breast Cancer

African American Women develop Breast Cancer at a slightly lower rate than white women. However, black women are 40% more likely to die from the disease. There are a variety of reasons for the disparity including access to life-saving mammograms. On this edition of Another View, a frank discussion about breast health and how women in one Hampton Roads City are finally getting the help they need. Dr. Keith Newby and Alayna Johnson, Director of Imaging Services with Bon Secours Hampton Roads are the in-studio guests. Also, a tribute to the legendary Cee Cee Tucker, who played a significant role in the creation of Another View. She passed away this week. This and all Another View programs can be heard on-demand on the show's program page.

Barry Graham used to arrive at WHRO with a briefcase full of papers and lesson plans. For 32 years he taught US and Virginia Government in the Virginia Beach Public Schools. While teaching was always his first love, radio was a close second. While attending Old Dominion, Barry was program director at WODU, the college radio station. After graduating, he came to WHRO as an overnight announcer. Originally intending to stay on only while completing graduate school, he was soon hooked on Public Radio and today is the senior announcer on WHRV. In 2001, Barry earned his Ph.D in Urban Studies by writing a history of WHRO and analyzing its impact upon local education, policy and cultural arts organizations.
