TONIGHT ON METROFOCUS

On Long Island, black women and their babies are four times more likely to die during childbirth as their white neighbors. Why? Also, what was it like being a member of  “Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood?” Nicholas Ma, the son of musician Yo-Yo Ma, who was a frequent guest on the iconic show, gives us an intimate look at the man whose life lessons continue to influence. And, 55 years ago today, the Beatles landed at J.F.K. and the British invasion began. Journalist Marvin Scott takes us inside the mayhem, the madness and this seismic event that shaped American culture.
