Etan Thomas | POLICE BRUTALITY AND WHITE SUPREMACY with Yamiche Alcindor

Police Brutality and White Supremacy demands accountability and justice for those responsible for and impacted by police violence and terror. It offers practical solutions to work against the promotion of white supremacy in law enforcement, Christianity, early education, and across the public sphere.
