Black Lives Matter Protests: Hope for the Future?

Big Brains - A podcast by University of Chicago Podcast Network - Thursdays

Our country has been rocked by protests following the killing of George Floyd, and many other black people, at the hands of police. On this episode, we brought together a panel of experts— Prof. Cathy Cohen, Asst. Prof. Reuben Jonathan Miller and Asst. Prof. John Rappaport—to tackle this conversation from different viewpoints. We examine the role of formerly incarcerated people, police reform and calls to “defund the police,” and how young people are making them hopeful about the future.
