Guest: Tory Russell, Mission Manager, International Black Freedom Alliance (IBFA)
\\nAs the police killing of George Floyd has sparked sparked a historic upheaval across the United States and across the Western world, seasoned activists are already thinking of the step ahead of the emotional momentum. The Ferguson uprising and before it, the one that took place in L.A in 1992 serve as examples of formidable mobilisation and earth shattering emergence of often times silenced realities but with time, many observe no sustainable infrastructure capable of capitalizing of, let\\u2019s face it, momentary anger, that could bring about struturral change, if not outright lead to a change of system.
\\nWhat lessons are to be learned from the L.A, Ferguson and Minneapolis uprisings and where do we go from here?
