Today's guest hosts are Brent J. Cohen and Charlotte Hancock, Executive Director and Communications Director for Generation Progress.
Over the last couple of weeks, we have seen protests across the country to call out the systemic racism in policing and the cyclical injustices faced by Black Americans for over 400 years in this country. In many cities, these protests have been met with wildly disproportionate and often outright violent reactions from police, who have tear-gassed, beaten, and even driven cars into protesters. Despite the danger faced by those protesting, it has been encouraging to see how many people are willing to stand up on this issue and call on elected officials to rethink the role of policing in our society and the many institutions that are still plagued by white supremacy.
To talk with Brent and Charlotte more about the roots of systemic racism, and how we can further work to dismantle white supremacy, they are joined today by Dr. Theodore R. Johnson, Senior Fellow at the Brennan Center for Justice.
