In light of the horrifying and utterly unacceptable displays of police brutality and white supremacy we have seen over the past week, this episode is a little bit different. We are departing from the VCE syllabus for an exploration of Maya Angelou's 'Caged Bird' which, in our opinion, really encapsulates the division that white privilege and historic oppression create in our society. Black Lives Matter and literature is one of the greatest means we have of understanding the experiences of those who are suffering injustice right now. If you aren't listing to this one on the run, we'd highly recommend you google the poem and read along with us.
