EPISODE 3: "Media and RacismWhen Covering Black Communities"
More From Racism Unveiled
Objectivity is a word that we hear a lot when it comes to journalism and reporters. But when 76% of newsrooms are white and predominantly male, is "objectivity" just code for the ‘white male gaze’? When it comes to reporting around police shootings, the news has often shown a bias towards the police narrative. But in the aftermath of George Floyd's killing and the Minneapolis Uprising, are newsrooms doing better?
EPISODE 4: "Are Law Schools Creating Racist Lawyers?"
As we watch attorneys unfurl their arguments, ask witnesses probing questions and argue with the judge in the trial of former MPD Officer Derek Chauvin, we’re left wondering: Could law schools be part of the solution to forging a new future as an anti-racist society? EPISODE 5: "After Derek Chauvin’s Conviction, Where Do We Go From Here?" Now that Derek Chauvin has been convicted of murdering George Floyd, racism is over, right? And we don't need any other police reforms? We interviewed a number of experts to ask them — where do we go from here? And they've suggested reforms to the police and society that would make our communities whole. EPISODE 6: "How Do Community Gatherings Help BIPOC Communities Thrive?" 2021 marks the first year that Juneteenth, a celebration of Black liberation in America, was honored as a federal holiday. But the event is not the only one of its kind — it shares values that can be found in events like Rondo Days, family reunions, church picnics and more. What makes these events so crucial to our BIPOC communities' whole-body health? Throughout the series, a common theme emerges: In order to make Minnesota a better place for everyone, we must never forget what happened to George Floyd, and the countless Black and brown people killed by police brutality. Our future depends on it.
