Welcome back to Sundays With Poppi for yet another VIRTUAL episode! After 85 days of quarantine during a global pandemic, our country is now in a state of emergency and crisis as the death of George Floyd has sparked anti-racism protests around the nation and the world.

Poppi not only shares his thoughts on today’s crisis, but also takes us through some other major historical moments that he has lived through. Think: WWII, the MLK era, and Kennedy’s assassination. There are plenty of jokes, riddles and even debates on what heaven looks like along the way...it’s a wild ride, guys. Enjoy!!! Hosted by Grandchild #1 (Jordan Korn) and Grandchild #8 (Ali Korn).
