Back to the Beginning: Talking Advocacy and Accountability with Activist Larry Hamm

from Official Ignorance: The Death in Custody Podcast · host Roger Mitchell, MD and Jay Aronson, PhD

In the final episode of Season 1, Roger and Jay talk to Larry Hamm, founder of the Newark, NJ-based Peoples’ Organization for Progress, longtime activist, and one of Roger’s earliest mentors. We discuss Larry’s early years as a Black student at Princeton University, his efforts to organize protests in Orange, NJ in the wake of Earl Faison’s 1999 death at the hands of police, and reflect why we should remain hopeful that we can reduce the number of people who die in custody each year in the United States.
