"The truth is that as much democracy as this nation has, it has been borne on the backs of Black resistance."
-Nikole Hannah-Jones
Black resistance is in happening in cities all over the United States including America's largest majority Black city, Detroit. Protestors by the thousands have flooded the streets of Downtown Detroit and nearby neighborhoods to express dissent with a system that has allowed for the habitual killings of Black men and women mostly without repercussions.
This week Donna and Orlando are joined by Victoria Burton-Harris, candidate for Wayne County Prosecutor and Yusef Bunchy Shakur, noted author and co-director of programs at the Michigan Roundtable for Diversity and Inclusion for a discussion and fresh take on what's happening on the streets of Detroit and if a reckoning is currently underway in America.
