In this two-part series, Tom Martin’s conversation with P.G. Peeples, president and CEO of the Urban League of Lexington-Fayette County, explores how the Urban League began and how it has impacted Fayette County.

The Lexington chapter, launched in 1968, is celebrating its 50th anniversary. P.G. Peeples talks about the progress that has been made since then and the direction the League is heading.

They discuss the issues of gentrification, affordable housing,  and why the focus on affordable housing is so important.
