In a year with a never-ending news cycle, it can be hard to recall the important moments that defined Syracuse in 2020.
COVID-19 made its way onto campus and into Onondaga County. Protests expanded on and around Syracuse University’s campus to advocate against racial inequality. An SU alumnus was even elected to the White House. Those are the big ones. But what else impacted Syracuse in a year of uncertainty and unrest?
In this episode, fall 2020 staff writer Marnie Muñoz discussed the story of Angel Gonzalez’s two perspectives of the city of Syracuse as a student and a resident of the city’s Westside. The episode provides detail on the neglect low-income neighborhoods in the city of Syracuse face while the university area develops.
This episode also features fall 2020 assistant news editor Sarah Alessandrini discussing how the Cuse Youth Black Lives Matter movement grew online and fought over policing in schools. Fall 2020 assistant culture editor Sydney Bergan also ended the episode detailing Syracuse’s newest cat cafe.
