Black lives have been a target dating back to slavery. From exploitation, lynchings, medical experimentation, and to apartheid, our generation has experienced trauma and genocide for years. The question is no longer why. The question is when does it end? When can families stop having hard conversations with their black kids on how to maneuver in this world? When will police stop utilizing their power to take black lives? When will the system die and start afresh? This special episode unpacks some of these frustrations as we chat with criminal defense and police misconduct attorney, Martinis Jackson. A Howard University School of Law graduate, Martinis is the founder of Jackson Legal Services based in Washington, DC, and hails from Memphis, TN where he has experienced social issues in a mostly black city. He is also the author of Justice My Way: Memoirs of a Black Prosecutor which we talk about in this show, in addition to the rights of protesters, and preparing for the fight ahead. **Please note that this show was pre-recorded and content may be dated due to new developments.**
