Finding a Voice in Ventriloquism

NYU Arthur L. Carter Journalism Institute graduate student Yamiche Alcindor has the story of a New Yorker who found his voice in an unusual way – through puppets. Nigel Dunkley struggled for years with stuttering and speech problems, but then he found a solution in ventriloquism. Alcindor rides the subways with Dunkley and one of his puppets named Cindy Hot Chocolate.
