FreshEd #175 – Violence Interrupters In Chicago (Tio Hardiman)

Protests over the murder of George Floyd have erupted across the United States. Police have responded with acts of violence caught on camera and spread across social media. What we are witnessing seems to be a confluence of centuries of systemic racism and injustice with the frustration towards the government in action during this pandemic. I think it is important to think through some of these issues, so I wanted to replay an episode I recorded last summer in Chicago with Tio Hardiman. He and I talked about the ways of interrupting violence and the impacts, violence has on children and schools. www.freshedpodcast.com/tiohardiman/ -- Get in touch!
