In this episode of “Achona: Beyond the Articles,” members of the Achona Online staff — Editor-in-Chief Adriana James-Rodil, Managing Editor Emara Saez, Sophomore Staff Writer Raquelle Elson, and Sophomore Staff Writer Isabel Bequer — discuss the ramifications of the guilty verdict that Derek Chauvin received recently for the death of George Floyd back in May 2020. Although his sentencing is not for another few weeks, this case of police brutality could serve as a precedent for future cases of police violence; in the past, due to qualified immunity, police officers have rarely been held accountable for misconduct. The staff writers discussed the aftermath of last summer’s protests, the future of racial justice, and what they hope happens going forward with police reform. The end of this podcast also features the anonymous voice recordings of several members of the Academy student body who shared their thoughts on Derek Chauvin’s verdict.

The interview between Oprah and Prince Harry and Meghan Markle aired on CBS on Sunday, Mar. 7, at 8 p.m. eastern time. Oprah commenced the interview by stating that “There’s no subject that’s off limits,” in addition to making it clear to the audience that they were not paid for the interview. This comes after Harry and Meghan’s decision to step down as senior royals — which they announced on Jan. 8, 2020. However, as the interview revealed, the couple did not want it to end that way, yet the perpetuation of untrue, racist stories published by British Tabloids and a lack of support from place officials and their own family members, they felt the decision was a necessary step in order to protect their family and become a truly happy family. Subsequently, members of the Achona staff — Editor-in-Chief Adriana James-Rodi, Managing Editor Emara Sáez, Multimedia Editor Chloe Mintz, Senior Staff Writer Olivia Martinez, and Sophomore Staff Writers Gigi Alfonso, Isabel Bequer, and Raquelle Elson discussed some of the important revelations from the interview, as well as gave their own thoughts regarding the British monarchy in this episode of "Achona: Beyond the Articles."
