Police brutality
against African Americans and movements for reform are intertwined with New
York City’s history. Professor Emeritus of History at Baruch College, CUNY, Clarence Taylor, examines the explosive
history of police violence and the black community’s long struggle to resist it
in his new book Fight the Power: African Americans and the Long History of Police Brutality in New York City.
He joins me on the show today to talk all about the history, the reforms and
prospects for change.
Since we last spoke with MarkJoseph Stern of Slate last week a lot has happened,
from court cases on the Virginia gerrymandering case, to double jeopardy, to
Trump’s financial records. Mark returns to the show today to talk all about
these issues and so much more.
