Promo: Strange Fruit #80
from Strange Fruit Hosted by StrangeFruitPod
This week on Strange Fruit, we speak with Rachel Lippmann of St. Louis Public Radio, and Bridjes O'Neill of the St. Louis American, about the shooting of Michael Brown by a Ferguson police officer—and the aftermath in the community. We also hear from our Louisville Councilwoman Attica Scott about her fears for her own black son. "People need to understand that police officers are paid by taxpayer dollars," she says. "The budget is reviewed and approved by some local government to then pay these individuals to kill our babies. And that's not okay." Hear the full conversation and more, this week on Strange Fruit. Strange Fruit airs Saturday at 10pm on 89.3 WFPL in Louisville, and posts online at strangefruitpod.org.
