Fellow here at the Manhattan Institute and i want to be used to know throughout the program please enter your questions on any of the platforms are watching us on and we both get them into the discussion or save them for the q a at the end of the event. I just want everyone to know thats before we get started. As i said this could not be more important or time the conversation that were going to have today, since the death of george floyd in Police Custody last month we had seen nationwide unrest. We seem protest not only here in america but internationally. Weve also seen a certain narrative take hold. It starts with the assumption that the only way to properly view George Floyd Death is through a racial lens. In fact, all encounters between police and black suspects are increasingly viewed this way. Its a narrative that assumes the behavior of derek shelburne, typical Police Behavior towards black suspects and it assumes that george floyd is a sort of black everyman in america, that
You are on the cspan radio app. Continues. Host we are back and we are joined by Ohio State University professor Hasan Kwame Jeffries, who is here to give us some Historical Perspective on the march on washington and the rights in the United States. Professor jeffries, good morning. Guest good morning. You. To be with host thank you so much for being with us. First, lets get your impressions of yesterdays march on washington and how it original. O the guest it was very interesting, because there are certainly a lot of parallels. Certainly in terms of what was being asked of the nation as a whole, what was being asked of the government.

Our sunday profile this morning, singer and actress Olivia Newtonjohn, who has much to share with our gayle king. And my heart is set on you she lit up the screen in grease, and had hits after hits as a singer. But for Olivia Newtonjohn, this isnt about her trip down memory lane.

So now we find ourselves with a conversation about policing. To abolish president , police and legislation in congress to make it easier to prosecute tops and fire them and with those are radicals with entire neighborhoods of a major city like seattle and those precincts that have been abandoned commentators who not only make excuses for the rioting and looting but sharing to a larger e
