Black Lives Matter

The death of George Floyd in Minneapolis on Memorial Day weekend 2020 sparked outrage. Video of the incident shows a police officer with his knee pressed down on the man’s neck for almost nine minutes.

In response, people have taken to the streets in protest. They are voicing their anger and telling their stories.

This episode aims to tell the story of the African-American experience through the words of six black pastors in the Great Plains Conference: Rev. Dee Williamston, Rev. Dr. Kevass Harding, Pastor Ronda Kingwood, Rev. Robert Johnson, Rev. Portia Cavitt and Rev. Kirstie Engel.

A warning this episode does include some of the recording of Mr. Floyd asking officers to allow him to move so he can breathe.
