Bodily Safety: Ta-Nehisi Coates on Police Shootings
b'
When journalist Ta-Nehisi Coates set out to write about police killings he went to visit Mable Jones. Back in 2000, Jones son, a friend of Coates from their time at Howard University, was shot and killed by police in Virginia. He was twenty five years old.
\\nWritten in the form of a letter to his own teenage son, Coates\' book "Between the World and Me" puts police shootings in a wider context.
\\nTa-Nehisi Coates spoke as part of the Lannan Foundation\'s Pursuit of Cultural Freedom Series.\\xa0
