Black Lives Matter Everywhere
Manage episode 276983980 series 2820680
Black Lives Matter.
Due to social media technology, the filmed police murder of George Floyd in Minneapolis traveled around the world in minutes. Now, what started out as a homegrown American movement a few years ago has gone global, with very large (and peaceful) anti-racism protests rippling from South Africa to South America.
Is this merely a striking moment that is destined to fade away over time? Or are we seeing the birth of a new international norm towards anti-racism and fair treatment of minorities?
This week, Steve and Soumi talk about this and much, much more!
