Is America Facing A Racial Reckoning - a podcast by TRT World

:: ::

In 1963, a quarter of a million Americans marched on Washington calling for equal civil rights. Today, the movement has a name: Black Lives Matter. It's been fueled by a string of killings at the hands of White police and citizens. We speak with American philosopher George Yancy who said the killing of unarmed man Ahmaud Arbery would not be the end, and that more black bodies would follow. So, can systemic racism be demolished? Plus, a Trump supporter and a constitutional lawyer join us to debate police brutality and America’s political response to the protests. ?

Guests:

George Yancy
Author of 'Across Black Spaces'

Gloria J. Browne-Marshall
Civil Rights Attorney and Constitutional Law Professor

Adolfo Franco
Attorney and Member of the Republican National Committee
