Conversations about Race: Episode Three - What Was Surprising After George Floyd's Murder?

In our third episode of our four part series on "Conversations about Race."  We delve into the surprises that have come out of the protests following the murder of George Floyd two weeks ago.  From gaslighting and the community response to the protests and riots, to the positive actions of young people, our panel discusses their takeaways.  

My guests are Ovie Oghenejobo, a sociology teacher at Lee's Summit North High School, Jordan Lewis, a counselor and social worker for Youthrive, and Tina Ellsworth, a social studies coordinator in an area suburban school district.
