#91: Facing Racism at Capital High School


Listen Later

Just over a month ago, a racial slur shouted at a River Ridge High School basketball player spread over social media, and then into the mainstream. This incident laid bare a series of similar incidents at Capital High School. We sat down with the organizers of a recent walk out to protest the official reaction to this and other incidents.

You can learn more by watching their 20-minute documentary on the aftermath of the racist abuse, or follow their Instagram for updates.

The student journalists at KOUGTV have also been doing a great job covering this story. Check out their archives for multiple interviews from students and administration.
