‘ON THE GROUND’ SHOW FOR FEBRUARY 3, 2023: Gerald Horne on U.S. Violence at Home and Abroad… Nichols Murder Reawakens BLM Movement… Plus Headlines


As Tyre Nichols, the most recent high-profile target of police terror is laid to rest, we speak to historian Gerald Horne about the links between violence inside and outside the United States.
The brutal beating of Nichols by Memphis police, captured on surveillance camera, reinforces the systemic nature of police abuse and offers more proof that the system cannot be reformed. We will go to the streets of DC where protests erupted on the night when video evidence of Nichols murder was released. With Gerald Horne, Sean Blackmon, NeeNee Tay and April Goggans.
