65: Savala Trepczynski on Breonna Taylor and the elusive nature of racial justice - a podcast by UC Berkeley

When Savala Trepczynski, the director of the social justice center at UC Berkeley, first heard the decision in the Breonna Taylor case — that only one of three police officers involved in Taylor's killing in March was indicted on charges of reckless endangerment — a familiar feeling sunk in.

"The fact of the charge is upsetting, disappointing, angering — all of those things," said Trepczynski. "And so, I felt the exhaustion of forbearance and abiding and feeling again and again that even when you get justice, it’s kind of a half step. It’s a measure of justice. It’s not the whole thing."

And she was reminded of a murder so similar to Taylor's that happened in her own family — to her great-great-grandmother.
