Friend –
Los Angeles, 1992. Detroit, 1967. Harlem, 1935. Chicago, 1919.
The disturbing trends we see today in police violence are the same we've seen over 100 years. George Floyd and Breonna Taylor – and the ensuing protests from their murders – are only the latest stories in this long and tragic history of systemic racism.
That's exactly what the ACLU's newest film series "100 Years of Racism in Policing" aims to get at and why I hope you'll join us by watching today.

In this series of four short films, I'll take you on a critical journey across the last century of commissions convened to examine why police brutality sparks unrest – from Rodney King to the Harlem Riots.
And by looking deeper into this history, we will better understand why it's not just reform, but a full re-allocation of resources that will be necessary for us to end police violence and injustice in our communities.
So please, start today: Watch "100 Years of Racism in Policing" and learn how we can all begin to push for real change in this country now.
