This Black History Month episode focuses on current black lives and why they matter for all of us. First, an interview with KY State Rep. Attica Scott who talks about Breonna's Law, legislation she has filed in response to the police killing of Breonna Taylor in Louisville last March, as well as her hopes for building a movement of Kentuckians across the state who are working for racial justice and policies that build thriving communities everywhere. Then an interview from the archive with Affrilachian author and educator Crystal Wilkinson recorded just as Wilkinson’s novel "The Birds of Opulence" was coming out. Finally Pastor Edward Palmer calls on us to overcome racism through policy actions, a presentation from the January Kentucky Policy virtual conference.
