As the latest case incident of police brutality, this one against a Black girl in Texas, is viewed by millions across the world, we spend the hour focused on women and girls here in the DMV, the nation and around the world. We hear words from the vocalist Ka’Ba speaking at a community benefit held for his children, after the tragic death of his wife Michelle Ayo Jones-Bell, who joined the ancestors after a bout with cancer. We hear shocking statistics about what is killing adolescent girls around the world and, in the second half, take your calls about the abuse of a defenseless girl, Dajerria Becton, by police in McKinney, Texas.
