Wil Haygood examines the Vietnam War from the perspective of Black Americans Feb 19, 2026

Show notes

Author, journalist and Columbus native Wil Haygood takes an in-depth look at the Vietnam War from the Black American perspective.

He traces the lives of Black men and women who were in Vietnam.

The racial divide of the 1960s and 1970s did not stay on American shores, it followed these men and women all the way around the world.

Haygood’s book The War Within a War: The Black Struggle in Vietnam and at Home tells the story of race in America and abroad.

And he connects the war in Vietnam to the racial tension the United States continues to grapple with today.

Weekly Reporter Roundtable Feb 16, 2026

Show notes

Jeffrey Epstein once lived in New Albany, forging strong personal and financial ties to Ohio billionaire Les Wexner, as well as connections to others in the state.

Wexner, named in the Epstein files as a potential “co-conspirator,” is set to be deposed at his home Wednesday by members of Congress. That’s in place of testifying in Washington.

Meanwhile, several statewide and local politicians, both Republicans and Democrats, have received campaign contributions over the years from Wexner and his wife.

Should they keep the money or return it? What’s the political calculus?

State lawmakers are back at work and are considering a mix of new and unfinished legislation.

We're talking about all of it on this week's Reporter Roundtable.

Guests:

George Shillcock, reporter, WOSU Public Media
Jessie Balmert, state government and politics reporter, The Columbus Dispatch
