While this is not what we hoped to highlight for our first episode of #BlackHistoryMonth, the death of Tyre Nichols and police violence are tragically part of Black history in America. As guest Nicole Triplett says,”This is not an aberration or breaking of police protocol, this is what policing in America has been and will continue to be.”Carl and Memphis native Nicole, the senioradvocacy & litigation strategist at Envision Freedom, talk aboutwhatis happening in Memphis, the role of race in Tyre Nichols’ murder, and what this means for policing in the U.S. more broadly.
