Retired FDNY Captain Brenda Berkman not only paved the way for more female firefighters, but in recent years has used art to process the trauma of her time as a first responder, including a series of lithographs titled Thirty-Six Views of One World Trade Center, which is part of the 9/11 Museum's permanent collection. Marcus A. Clarke, director of the Netflix documentary, "Blood Brothers: Malcolm X and Muhammed Ali," joins us to discuss his new film, which takes a look at the history of the often-complex relationship between Muhammad Ali and Malcolm X, featuring never before seen archival footage. The film premieres on Netflix September 9. September 11 marked a turning point for a set of rules restricting NYPD surveillance of political groups and ethic communities, which can be traced back to the Black Panther Party and extend to Black Lives Matter protests today. WNYC's Matt Katz joins us to discuss his reporting. We air the next installment of "Full Bio" with author and CNN national security analyst Peter Bergen, who discusses his new book The Rise and Fall of Osama bin Laden, a biography of the man who helped orchestrate 9/11 and changed the course of American history forever. Today, we will discuss how bin Laden exerted his influence in the 1990s, how he chose his targets, and his relationship with the Taliban. We'll also learn about the Gina Bennet, the first U.S. intelligence officer to recognize bin Laden as a lethal thread, and about the first time Bergen himself met with bin Laden. A recent law passed in Texas bans most abortions around the 6 week mark, which will likely prevent many women seeking an abortion from securing one. What can we know about what will happened to the women who will be denied an abortion? Dr. Diana Greene Foster is professor at the University of California San Francisco, and the leader of the Turnaway Study, a nationwide project which spends years following women who sought an abortion. The study examines the long-term effects of either having an abortion or being turned away. Foster joins us to discuss her research and her book, The Turnaway Study: Ten Years, a Thousand Women, and the Consequences of Having—or Being Denied—an Abortion.
