George Floyd's life was snubbed out by a heinous act of police brutality in Minneapolis, Minnesota on Memorial Day, Monday, May 25, 2020.
We recorded this episode on June 2, 2020, during "Blackout Tuesday," a grassroots expression of solidarity on Instagram.
We've uploaded it on Sunday, June 7, 2020 (PST).
And even still, more than two weeks since George Floyd's murder, the demonstrations from coast to coast protesting gross inequity persist boldly and strongly.

*UPDATE: In this episode, Morgan praised the rhetoric of Seattle Mayor Jenny Durkan. Her acknowledgment, replete understanding, and regard for the movement is more than what’s been expressed by her peers in leadership across the country. But it isn’t enough. It took centuries to establish acute, compounded social inequity. It’ll take more than words to right those wrongs. Redistribute the bountiful budgets from the prison and policing systems and direct the moneys to education, social work, programming, and urban development in the communities this country has chosen to marginalize.
