3:35pm ET - Last week, following
right on the heels of the grand jury decision in Ferguson, MO to not a indict
Police Officer Darren Wilson, a grand jury in New York City decided also to not
indict NYPD Officer Daniel Pantaleo for the homicide of 43-year-old Eric
Garner. Immediately after this decision
was made public, protests erupted across that country and are continuing even
now as our nation wrestles with the idea of where do we go from here? Joining us today to discuss the killing, the
protests, and whether or not our police forces’ can be reformed is Mychal Denzel Smith, a contributing
writer at The Nation and a blogger at TheNation.com. You can also follow Mychal on twitter.
4:45pm ET - Of all the major
cities associated with gay culture, Berlin may have been the first one where
homosexuality truly flourished.
Historian Robert Beachy explores this gay mecca in his new book Gay Berlin: Birthplace of a Modern Identity. He traces the origins of today’s homosexual
identity all the way back to the Weimer Republic. He joins us today to talk about the city’s
unique history and stories.
