RVA In The Uprising with L and Buzz

RVA In The Uprising with L and Buzz This week, we're going to hear two specials in two separate episodes, basically exploding radio edition into it's components. In this one you've clicked on, you'll hear L, who works with the Richmond Community Bail Fund, and Buzz talk about their experiences in the streets and doing anti-repression work in Richmond, Virginia, throughout the uprising against police killings sparked by the murder of George Floyd in so-called Minneapolis. They also talk about the decades-long struggle to take down public monuments to the Confederacy, including the reclaiming of the former home of the statue of General R.E. Lee as Marcus David Peters Circle, named for a black man murdered by the Richmond police in 2018 while having a mental health crisis.
