This week we had the opportunity to hear from Matthew Nivens, a worker and supporter of Black Lives Matter. He was able to offer his insights on the importance of the movement and organisation, on fighting against racism. Joe also read extracts from the book, 'Why I'm No Longer Talking to White People About Race' by Reni Eddo-Lodge, and discussed the effects of racism in politics and on a systematic level.
