Black Lives, Police Brutality, and Rewriting the Rules

The cruel impacts of Covid-19 and recent murders of multiple black people
by police have laid bare longstanding inequities of systemic racism in
America. These injustices cut across criminal justice, healthcare, housing,
employment, and education. Harvard historian [3]Khalil Muhammad[4] and
[5]Rashad Robinson of Color of Change, talk with the Skillman Foundation’s
[6]Tonya Allen about a long history that led us to this moment and the
rules — both written and unwritten — that have shaped these systems and
cultures. Importantly, they ask: What does it look like to rewrite those
rules? [7]Watch now.

George Floyd. What are the mistakes law enforcement have made, and what
strategies are being used to try to maintain a sense of calm? Suarez, a
member of the Aspen Institute’s [9]Rodel Fellowship in Public Leadership,
