Stephon Clark - Part 1

https://www.dcpofficial.com/stephonclark On March 18th, 2018 Stephon Clark was shot and killed in his grandmothers backyard after officers allege they mistook his cell phone for a gun. Though the story received National media attention, there is a lot more to the case and the Clark family story than most people know. Stephon's grandmother Sequita, mother Sequette “Mama Clark” and brothers Jhai’Len and Stevante share who Stephon was and how the family made a name for themselves throughout the city of Sacramento, CA.

And I said, "Oh my God." I thought it was the neighbors. There's some apartments over here that's behind, they're called Coral Gables, and they always like shooting over there, these young people. So I jumped out on the floor and because the sound was getting closer, got out of that chair over there and came over here and pulled my granddaughter by her legs and said, "Cailyn, wake up. They're shooting outside. They're shooting." And she said, "What, Grandma?" I said, "Yeah, they're shooting. Lay down. We went all the way around to the bedroom on the floor, me and her. And I said, "Papa, they're shooting." He said, "Yeah." Then he said that he thought he heard somebody at the window, but I said, "Well, call the police. See what's going on.

I am so grateful for a podcast that is transparent enough to keep us informed of the number of racial injustices that have occurred in our lifetime and before!! These stories are loaded with intimate details of the victims, their families and loved ones which enables the listener to understand the situation as if we lived it too. The content of each episode allows the listener to become vulnerable to the point of heightened awareness and action. While listening (and after listening) you will definitely be compelled to “Say Their Name”! Why? Because it could be you, better yet, it IS YOU!! Thank you for this extraordinary podcast!!
Moving and real

This is just the first hand stories of families which humanizes what we hear in the news. Much needed when it’s too easy to become numb and just see peoples lives as numbers.
