This Way Out (LGBT)
This Way Out leads off each week with NewsWrap, a summary of some of the major news events in or affecting the lesbian/gay community, compiled from a variety of publications and broadcasts around the world.
On May 25, 2020, the nation ignited after a bystander posted a horrific video of Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin kneeling on George Floyds neck for over eight minutes.
Now the movement to uplift Black lives, and to defund and dismantle police departments where officers disproportionately kill and brutalize African American men and women, has grown to a point where it can no longer be ignored.
We’ll hear from activists in Minneapolis, mourners in Houston, and well go to our archives for an interview with the brother of Yuvette Henderson. She was killed by Emeryville police in 2015.
Featuring:
Stephen Jackson, George Floyds friend and former NBA player; Valarie Castile, BLM activist and Philando Castiles mother; Lisa Bender, president of the Minneapolis City Council; Alicia Garza, co-founder of Black Lives Matter; Brooke Williams, George Floyds niece; Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee, D-Texas; Rev. Al Sharpton; Jamison Robinson, Yuvette Hendersons brother.
