It's been over 20 years since TV's Murphy Brown openly raised a baby by herself, and challenged opinions of what it means to be a single mom. But single fatherhood is still widely viewed as a societal ill, especially as it affects the inner city. This hour, we'll take a look at how cultural changes have refocused the father-child bond and transformed the meaning of fatherhood among the urban poor.
Guests:
Timothy Nelson, co-author of Doing the Best I Can: Fatherhood in the Inner City
Stephanie Hightower, president of the Columbus Urban League
