Guest: Britta Guerrero, CEO Sacramento Native American Health Center
As the nation grapples with its history of racism, genocide and exploitation the term BIPOC has emerged which stands for Black Indigenous and People of Color. It is important to recognize why we need to link and center the experiences of Black and Indigenous people as we confront the myths and lies that have held up America and its "heroes" for so long. As we topple statues of rapist murderers (whether it's Robert E. Lee, John Sutter or Christopher Columbus) and reconsider brands like Aunt Jemima and the Washington Redskins, who just today announced a decision to change its name, it is critical for us to to tackle these changes together and to understand the commonality of the respective struggles of these communities. To have this discussion we invited Britta Guerrero, CEO of the Sacramento Native American Health Center and an enrolled member of the San Carlos Apache tribe to discuss America's past and the importance for collaboration and unity between the Black and Indigenous Liberation/Justice movements.
