WBFO Brief Sept. 9, 2021

In today's WBFO Brief, we look back on the Attica Prison Uprising, which began 50 years ago today, with reports from Jay Moran and Thomas O'Neil White.

Also, two more local Starbucks locations file to hold a unionization vote; A key component of a massive Gates Circle redevelopment project is formally opened; Mayor Byron Brown expresses his confidence about being put back on the November ballot.

And, we share some news from across the border, on the first of two pre-election debates, and the latest on COVID in Canada.
