Wilton Rancheria MMIP Partnership with Sac Sheriff
California has the largest population of Native Americans anywhere in the country - as well as the most tribes. We also have one of the highest rates of murder and missing people within the Indigenous community. Wilton Rancheria Chairman, Jesus Tarango, joins Insight today to discuss a new partnership with the Sacramento County Sheriff’s Department and how both sides plan to work closer together to end the epidemic of violence and trafficking in Sacramento County.
Sacramento Mayoral Candidate Flojaune Cofer
This month, we are dedicating Thursdays to speaking with the four leading candidates in Sacramento’s mayoral race — which can be decided following the primary on March 5. Today we welcome epidemiologist and public health professional Dr. Flojaune Cofer to discuss why she is running for Sacramento mayor, what sets her apart from opponents, and top priorities if elected. 
Crocker Museum’s “Black Artists in America”
A new traveling exhibit opened last week at the Crocker Art Museum, pulling together local collection pieces with national works. Black Artists in America: From Civil Rights to the Bicentennial explores the work of Black American artists in the 1950s, 1960s, and 1970s.  Dr. Francesca Wilmott, Curator at the Crocker Art Museum, talks about how the artists’ work celebrated their identity and captured the struggle against inequality. The conversation also features poetry readings by local students Nas Muhammad, Nasara McDaniels Keys, and Kyle Hayes.
