Our Unjust System, the Radical Elders Speak Out
In honor of Martin Luther King JR day, host Amy Johnson gets the perspectives of Portland's Radical Elders Reading Group. Guests LJ, Arthur and Grace have been activists since the Civil Rights era, they share the inequalities in incarceration rates and policing they have seen since they became active and how the black family was systematically disintegrated in America. Setting the backdrop for today's issues of police violence and mass incarceration, movements against these issues are seen as a new civil rights movement.
