Acclaimed actor and activist Michael K. Williams joins Lily for a special episode on honor of Martin Luther King Jr. Day. Michael discusses the mental health repercussions of systemic racism and oppression, advocating for police and prison reform. Michael also shares his initiative, Crew Count, which takes a multi-layered approach to undo the harm of the NYPD’s Operation Crew Cut by engaging the most marginalized and disenfranchised community members in the voting process while also addressing gun violence and food insecurity.
