Waiting on Reparations

Emergency

Civil unrest in the wake of the murder of George Floyd, by an officer of the Minneapolis Police Department, has forced to the surface a centuries old struggle. How can we protect and make our Black communities whole? How can we move towards a future where the police truly do "Protect &amp; Serve" all citizens of this country; a future where the police employ mediation and deescalation, not lethal force; a future where instead of locking people in cages, we rehabilitate them and restore their rights. The hosts of Waiting on Reparations, Linqua Franqa (aka Mariah Parker) and Dope Knife (aka Kedrick Mack), share their personal experiences with these issues and a few ideas on how to get the process started.
