DeRay Mckesson (On The Other Side of Freedom) talks about myths we tell about black people, being stripped of every marker of strength as a public gay person, and why he used to avoid talking publicly about his love life. He also discusses how we begin to hold police accountable for misdeeds and questions if people will remain as mobilized as they are now when Trump is out of office.
