Tens of thousands of anti-racist activists marched in |
|
Boston, Massachusetts over the weekend, entirely |
|
eclipsing the so-called "Free Speech" rally planned by |
|
white supremacists. On the same weekend, more than a |
|
hundred groups gathered in Washington DC to call |
|
attention to the unjust and racist prison system in the |
|
US. On today's show we'll turn to Laila Aziz of the group |
|
I Am We Prisoner Advocacy Network to discuss both events |
|
and how they were linked. Then, historian and academic |
|
Yohuru Williams will explain just what confederate |
|
statues represent to African Americans and people of |
|
color and why they must come down no matter what. Finally |
|
Nancy MacLean will join us to discuss her new book |
|
Democracy in Chains: The Deep History of the Radical |
|
Right's Stealth Plan for America. In her book MacLean |
|
makes the connections between the backlash to the civil |
|
rights movement and the GOP's billionaire-funded |
|
privatization agenda. |
