High school student defends controversial Black History Month program

Episode Description

Jordan Johnson, a senior at Pickerington North High School, talks to the Other Side about a controversial Black History Month program organized by her and other students. Johnson says she was bewildered and saddened by the response of some parents, who accused the history program of criticizing police because it dealt with officer-involved shootings of blacks.

Johnson says that, despite the controversy, the experience helped bring students at her school together. Plus, Lucas and Scot discuss whether slavery gets too much attention when American history museums create exhibits on the black experience.
