On this episode of The Check In, we hear more voices from the ongoing protests against racism and police violence, including the voices of poets, healers and musicians and moments from the past month that have stopped us in our tracks.
We hear from Boston-based poets M'Shairi, D. Ruff, and Amanda Shea, and listen to Danielle Ruffin from Sistahs of the Calibashsing Sam Cooke. We reflect on the ways this protest movement has intersected with the pandemic, how the message of the protests is shifting, and what we've learned from listening and learning to people sharing their experiences in the past month.
