Tuesday Livestream White Reconstruction w/ Professor Dylan Rodríquez
News broke recently about the pepper spraying of a young black girl (9 years old) cuffed in the back of a police car. Have we had any real movement in the aftermath of the George Floyd protests of last summer? Is the defunding of law enforcement really an answer for this type of behavior? What does prison abolition actually look like? Joe Biden has signed on to end federal private prisons. Is that enough? Is expanding the black political class equal to actually having real political power? We will ask these questions and more with our guest Professor Dylan Rodríquez.
