In this episode, Southwest Little Rock, Arkansas native Osyrus Bolly, reflects on the many ways that solutions for social injustice actually refine and defend systemic racism rather than remove false narratives that lead to injustice like “colorblindness” and the “over-policing of African American communities” that begin in elementary school.

Osyrus Bolly’s work to defund the police and rebuild the Little Rock School District centers his activism.

Stay tuned as Osyrus, a long time member of the Arkansas Poor People's Campaign, explains how his success with invigorating youth advocacy rests in his being a Little Rock native, aware, at a very young age, of the structural differences in place that disrupt positive outcomes for Black and Brown communities.
