John --
The depths of systemic racism do not start and end with police brutality, but rather transcend the entire criminal-legal system -- something that rapper, activist, and author Mysonne knows all too well.
In this week’s episode of
What Matters, Mysonne sits down with Black Lives Matter Global Network’s Managing Director Kailee Scales to discuss his first-hand experiences with the criminal justice system and how Black people are disproportionately and unfairly targeted.
Together, they talk about the longstanding history of injustice all the way up to our most recent uprisings -- and everything in between. Tune in right now on Spotify, Instagram TV, YouTube, Apple Podcasts, or BlackLivesMatter.com/WhatMatters.
For years, Mysonne has dedicated his life to the movement and fight for Black lives and liberation.
During his discussion with Kailee, he talks about his work on the ground in Minneapolis, Louisville, and Atlanta, fighting for justice for our murdered community members -- and calling for change for Black people across our country.
Additionally, the two talk about his three sons who helped inspire his new book:
I KNOW MY RIGHTS: Bill of Rights -- a children’s book that educates kids on the rights granted by the first ten amendments -- and how they have shaped his life and commitment to the movement.
Mysonne has been in the fight for years -- and he doesn’t plan to stop anytime soon. If you’re ready to hear more about his life and journey -- head over to Spotify, Instagram TV, YouTube, Apple Podcasts, or BlackLivesMatter.com/WhatMatters to listen to the latest episode of What Matters, and share it with your friends.
In love and solidarity,
Black Lives Matter Global Network
