Introduction

It's a year since george floyd was killed by a police officer in minneapolis, and massive protests over systemic racism started happening all over the united states. Here on the show, at the time, it definitely did not seem right to put out our regularly scheduled programming. And so we turned to ted speaker clint smith who very generously put what america was and is going through in a personal and historical context. For us, it's a passionate and lyrical episode, and we wanted to bring it back this week just as Clint is releasing his new book about slavery across America.
