Description
Today Kaitlin is joined by Blair Imani, historian, author, and host of the America Did What?! podcast, to talk about the historical context that led to the current protests. They start with a conversation about how this movement compares to protests from the past, and explain how the discussion of the black experience is different this time around. Next, they talk about the tension between police reform and police abolition, then discuss bringing Black Lives Matter and Pride into the same space. They explain some of the misconceptions about early black rights leaders, sharing some eye opening quotes. Finally, they close the show with a message from Martin Luther King Jr. that challenges all the MLK pacifist Tweets you’ve been seeing lately.
