Thinking Out Loud with Konnie and Liz

Black Lives Matter

On 25th May George Floyd was arrested for passing what was thought to be a fake $20 bill. The appalling moments that followed have put Black Lives Matter on the agenda of politicians and news agencies alike. In this episode, Konnie and Liz talk to Henry Bonsu about the history, context, and aims of the movement. <a href="https://blacklivesmatter.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://blacklivesmatter.com/</a><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/13th_(film)" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/13th_(film)</a><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Floyd" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Floyd</a><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shooting_of_Breonna_Taylor" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shooting_of_Breonna_Taylor</a><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shooting_of_Ahmaud_Arbery" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shooting_of_Ahmaud_Arbery</a><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trayvon_Martin" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trayvon_Martin</a><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shooting_of_Philando_Castile" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shooting_of_Philando_Castile</a><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colin_Kaepernick" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colin_Kaepernick</a><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edward_Colston" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edward_Colston</a><a href="https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-52988251" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-52988251</a> - Wretch 32 reference<a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/atlanta-police-officers-charged-excessive-force-assaulting-college-students-protest/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.cbsnews.com/news/atlanta-police-officers-charged-excessive-force-assaulting-college-students-protest/</a><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Central_Park_birdwatching_incident" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Central_Park_birdwatching_incident</a><a href="http://www.stop-watch.org//" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">http://www.stop-watch.org//</a><a href="https://www.inquest.org.uk/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.inquest.org.uk/</a><a href="https://twitter.com/bonsuman?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Eauthor" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://twitter.com/bonsuman?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Eauthor</a> See <a href="https://acast.com/privacy" rel="noopener noreferrer" style="color:grey;" target="_blank">acast.com/privacy</a> for privacy and opt-out information.

Thinking Out Loud is the podcast where there are no stupid questions. Every episode, Konnie Huq and her best mate Liz Owens pick a big topic, and share what they know (or what they think they know). Then, they invite a bona fide expert into the studio, to correct mistakes, answer questions, and teach us all some interesting facts. Think of it like a cross between your favourite class at school and a really interesting chat down the pub!
