The national uprising against racism in the U.S. started with Minneapolis police killing George Floyd. And Floyd’s murder is five years after Freddy Gray was killed by police in Baltimore. We speak to Baltimore civil rights attorney Latoya Francis-Williams. And as protesters are uncompromising about the truth of American history, new battle lines are drawn about heroes, sacred cows and gatekeepers. We speak to author and activist Gerald Horne.
