"While We Slept: 1,126 Black Bodies in 2015" With Dr. Ruby N. Sales - a podcast by OCG

"While We Slept: 1,126 Black Bodies in 2015"

Guest Co-Host, Dr. Ruby Sales, Founder and Director, The SpiritHouse Project

"All I wanted was someone to be held accountable,’ says Tamir Rice’s mother. ‘But this entire process was a charade."

Did you sit it out until the justice system announced that there was a reasonable explanation to the murder of 12-year old Tamir Rice? Yeah, well most Black people did and now they are outraged. Who is Accountable ? Did we sleep through 1,126 police killings before we decided that it was about us?  Then there is the court and juries ? Applying two standards which favor the police.  What are the answers and what are the solutions?

We pay tribute to Dr. Frances Cress Welsing who made her transition to become an honored Ancestor this morning as the sun rose. And remember, the legendary vocalist, Natalie Cole.
