Sprouts
Sprouts Radio from the Grassroots is a 30-minute weekly program featuring radio programs produced at community radio stations or by other independent producers from across the country and sometimes around the world.
In the wake of Tyre Nichols’ death at the hands of police, Ramses Ja and Q Ward tell a story of how they were pulled over in 2020 in Mississippi. They were harassed, profiled, and humiliated by law enforcement only to be released after no usable evidence was able to be procured and used against them.
Ramses and Q share the fear they felt, and the surprise of their treatment by a black officer. They give analysis on the system that creates experiences like theirs.
