This week on Matter of Fact, we look at gun reform in the U.S. After the Sandy Hook massacre, when a gunman killed 20 little kids and 6 adults, Shannon Watts founded “Moms Demand Action.” She talks to Soledad about how her group is working to pass stronger gun laws, in the wake of two mass shootings less than a week apart. Plus, we look at the possible future of the coronavirus pandemic by studying the history of the deadly 1918 flu pandemic. And, Soledad talks to poet Sonia Sanchez about her legacy and why she’s still hopeful her words can bring peace in a chaotic world.
