EPISODE 26: The Same Strange Fruit... Again.
Karmelo Anthony. 35 years. Nolan Wells. Trayvon Martin. Ahmaud Arbery. A 16-year-old from the DRC found hanging in early June. A 21-year-old in Georgia in February. Brendan and Vuyanzi sit with Billie Holiday's "Strange Fruit" - and the devastating reality that the song still applies. The question at the end of this episode is not rhetorical: where do we actually go from here?
In this episode:
- Opening conversation - Karmelo Anthony sentenced to 35 years; self-defence, race, and the justice system; Nolan's case
- Deep Dive - adultification of Black children; the pattern from Trayvon to Ahmaud to the names we don't hear enough; Black people going missing and being found dead like Nolan Wells and the silence that surrounds it; "Strange Fruit" and the bitter reality that this conversation has not moved as far as it should have
- The question - we keep repeating this. Where do we go from here?
