Dr. Angela Hattery and Dr. Earl Smith, Policing Black Bodies
Sociologists Dr. Angela Hattery and Dr. Earl Smith join the program to discuss systemic attacks on the Black community and the role of the criminal justice system in maintaining an American caste system. The authors of "Policing Black Bodies" share their 30 years of experience in researching social dynamics and family violence. The discussion frames historical events like the Tuskegee syphilis experiments and the Pruitt-Igoe chemical spraying as part of a broader "soup" of systemic conspiracy.
