Turning A Moment Into A Movement..... Welcomes Abdul Hakeem as our special guest Friday August 27, 2021 6pm EDT
BLIND DENIALS pt 2 .... "ACCOUNTABILITY"
Taking the Blind Denial conversation to the next level. How do we get the Criminal Justice Professionals to take accountability for their role in Wrongful Convictions?
Abdul Hakeem is a steward of justice, a trailblazer who believes in equal justice under the law, as inscribed on the façade of the US Supreme Court building. A lifelong Detroit, he grew up in the city during the 1967 rebellion against police brutality when he and his family had to confront the reality, and the horrors, of institutionalized racism. It was during this era there was an unwritten rule that a black man living with a white woman and her children was met with harassment, threats and physical assaults by Detroit Police.
It was this experience with racism and terror that Abdul Hakeem carried with him throughout his life and made his decision today to confront the powers that be. He reminds them of our democratic principle that we the People have the power to check those in office against governmental abuse of authority. This is why Abdul rises to the occasion and speaks out to confront government abuse, be it police, prosecutors, or other elected officials. That, he emphasizes, is the essence of a true democracy: the right to speak up and not be oppressed for such free speech...
