NH Primary, Zika Virus, Black History Month and NAACP Update

Ohio Gov. John Kasich had a great night in New Hampshire.

"Tonight the light overcame the darkness of negative campaigning and you made it happen," Kasich said.

Cleveland.com's Henry Gomez joined us from New Hampshire to talk about Kasich's win and how he'll carry his light now to South Carolina.

We also discussed the Zika virus last week. Now there are two confirmed cases in Ohio, one in Cleveland. ideastream health reporter Sarah Jane Tribble gave an update.

And it's Black History Month. Local historians discuss the rich history of African American people in Northeast Ohio, people like the late Carl and Lou Stokes.
