October 15, 2020: Say Their Names: George Floyd and the Movement to Uplift Black Lives (rebroadcast)
On May 25, 2020, the nation ignited after a bystander posted a horrific video of Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin kneeling on George Floyds neck for over eight minutes.
Now the movement to uplift Black lives, and to defund and dismantle police departments where officers disproportionately kill and brutalize African American men and women, has grown to a point where it can no longer be ignored.
Well hear from activists in Minneapolis, mourners in Houston, and well go to our archives for an interview with the brother of Yuvette Henderson. She was killed by Emeryville police in 2015.
