Description

Protests over the murder of George Floyd, a black man in Minneapolis, have sprung up in cities across the United States. In Seattle, peaceful protests calling for justice have also generated violence, looting, and clashes with police, undermining from the message of the Black Lives Matters activists.  Public Radio reporter Casey Martin has been in the thick of it, and joins us to explain the view from the streets, and what it is like to cover a riot during a raging pandemic. Find Casey on Instagram and Twitter. --------------------------------------- ADVERTISE WITH US: Reach expats, future expats, and travelers all over the world.
