The Chicago Roots Of ‘Sinners,’ Plus: That BAFTAs Moment

from In the Loop with Sasha-Ann Simons

A racial slur at the British Film Awards is the latest of several recent public racist incidents that have left Black people feeling dehumanized and disrespected.

We talk about healing from racial trauma with Pilar Audain, associate director of Truth, Racial Healing, and Transformation Greater Chicago; Brandon Pope, president of the Chicago chapter of the National Association of Black Journalists; and Danielle Robinson Bell, associate professor at Northwestern University’s Medill School of Journalism.
