(NECN) - NECN is starting a new weekly segment on NewsDay Live. The Bay State Banner is a weekly African-American newspaper published in Boston, and each week we'll take a closer look at some of their featured stories.

This week, the Banner looks at a local non-profit's efforts to improve health care in Uganda, and takes us inside a family's annual holiday open house.
