On this edition of Closer Look:

Are artist’s lyrics fair game for use as evidence against them in court? Georgia’s Congressman Hank Johnson doesn’t believe so. He explains why he considers this a First Amendment issue.

Also, the cost of mental health inequities is staggering. A groundbreaking new study finds nearly 117,000 lives were lost at a cost of about $278 billion dollars between 2016 and 2020 due to a lack of equitable mental health care. Study author, Professor Daniel Dawes, Executive Director of the Satcher Health Leadership Institute at Morehouse School of Medicine discusses the numbers and offers solutions.

And a celebration of the legacy of Macon, Georgia native, Otis Redding. The R&B legend, who died in a plane crash at the age of 26, would have turned 81 today.
