Equations For Liberation, A Conversation With Kelly Lytle Hernandez
from Latino USA · host My Cultura, Futuro and iHeartPodcasts
When historian Kelly Lytle Hernandez was denied access to Los Angeles Police Department’s arrest records for her research on mass incarceration, she decided that she would not go down without a fight. Kelly sued the LAPD for access to this data and used the information gathered to create Million Dollar Hoods, a project that maps the fiscal and human cost of mass incarceration in Los Angeles. We speak with Kelly and her students about how they are using this data to create equations for reparations and liberation.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
