Our podcast will aim at answering the question: what implications do historical racism and slavery have in the US Prison systems that we see today and how do historical structures, specifically incarceration, carry through to the present? Our podcast will illuminate this question by providing a brief historical analysis of influential events that occurred in the US that have directly affected the police brutality that affects many Black Americans. We will then segway into a discussion of how police brutality towards Black Americans have modern implications on their life.
