Afternoon Coffee Break with Darren Watts
03-04-2023
Katya Fels Smyth said it perfectly. This is 911, what your emergency? Our national emergency is racism transforming our emergency response system to address, not amplify, this is a call our country needs to make.
Why is it that the emergency system is taking advantage of Black people while working. Sundown state Vidor, Texas is the town I'm going to talk about in today's episode. Join me.
