Tonight we look back at this week’s uprising in Baltimore MD and explore where we go from here. How do we prepare a generation of people for a new, more militarized war on Black people? How do we get our people to see, "we are the Gaza?" Looking at the Freddie Gray murder charges and the overall fracture and failure of the Amerikkan judicial and government systems.
