Send us a textThis week, I sit down with Dr. Phil Allen—a former All-American basketball player turned theologian, poet, and prophetic voice. From the basketball courts of North Carolina A&T to the halls of Fuller Seminary, Phil shares his remarkable journey from hoop dreams to a life dedicated to ministry, ethics, and racial healing.We explore his moving documentary “Open Wounds”, inspired by the tragic story of his grandfather—an untold chapter of racial violence that Phil discovered later in life. The film made its way to Sundance and now serves as a centerpiece for our discussion on generational trauma and redemption.We also dive into his powerful book, "The Prophetic Lens: The Camera and Black Moral Agency From MLK to Darnella Frazier", examining how the lens—literal and metaphorical—shapes our understanding of justice, especially in the wake of George Floyd, Ahmaud Arbery, and others.Topics include:Phil's transformation from athlete to scholar and poetLife at North Carolina A&TThe making of Open WoundsFaith, ethics, race, and cultureThe power of video and voice in modern civil rightsRunning as a spiritual and physical disciplineThis conversation is thoughtful, raw, and full of hope. Tune in to hear how one man's story speaks to a much bigger truth, and calls us to learn, engage, resist, and at the same time, stay healthy.SHOW NOTESSupport the showBecome a Patron - Click on the link to learn how you can become a Patron of the show.

Dr. Phil Allen, Jr. returns to Resiliency Within to discuss his journey since the release of his documentary and his first book, Open Wounds: A Story of Racial Tragedy, Trauma and Redemption. In this episode, he will explore the themes of his second book, The Prophetic Lens: The Camera and Black Moral Agency, from Martin Luther King to Darnella Frazier, which examines the role of the camera in the fight for racial justice. Allen highlights both the prophetic potential of the camera and the context of Blackness as a liminal existence amid a context dominated by whiteness. He states, “Martin Luther King used news cameras to expose anti-Black violence by white mobs in the 1950s and 60s. Darnella Frazier used her phone to record and post the murder of George Floyd by Derek Chauvin in May 2020. These are just two of many people who have captured images of injustice for the world to see. The Prophetic Lens delves into the camera's role as an indispensable prophetic tool for the security of Black lives and the pursuit of racial justice.” Using Walter Brueggemann's Prophetic Imagination as a framework, Allen demonstrates how the camera can be a catalyst for cultural change. He chronicles the use of the camera in film, from J.D. Griffiths' Birth of a Nation to Spike Lee's Do the Right Thing, revealing how this technology has effectively achieved the goals of its respective storytellers. Dr. Phil Allen, Jr. will also share the work of the nonprofit organization he founded, the Racial Solidarity Project. This organization aims to promote anti-racist, pro-community activism, and racial solidarity through its four pillars of sustainable activism: justice and equity advocacy, education, wellness, and intentional community-building. The Racial Solidarity Project believes that justice work requires solidarity, and solidarity invites healing. They emphasize the term “solidarity” because it reflects God's work and is the central witness of God's relationship with humanity.

A crowd of bystanders watched helplessly as a Minneapolis police officer took George Floyd's life in Minneapolis in 2020. One of those watching was just 9 years old, Judeah Reynolds. Now an 11-year-old sixth grader, Judeah has released a children's book called “A Walk to the Store.” It documents the effect Floyd's murder had on her and how she's continuing to move forward. "I'm too little to walk alone to the store,” Judeah reads to a rapt audience of elementary school students in north Minneapolis Friday. “So I ask everybody in the house, "Will you walk me to the store?" Her cousin Darnella Frazier agreed to walk Judeah, with her $3 for candy, to Cup Foods at the corner of 38th Street and Chicago Avenue. That's where Judeah watched as George Floyd lost consciousness and stopped moving under Derek Chauvin's knee. Her cousin recorded the video of Floyd's murder that went viral. "We watch a man get killed,” Judeah reads. “We cannot stop it from happening. All we can do is tell what happened." Stephen Maturen for MPR News Judeah Reynolds reads from her book before an audience of young children at Legacy of Dr. Josie R. Johnson Montessori School. Judeah was the youngest bystander at the scene. Her presence was noted repeatedly by judges and attorneys as four ex-cops stood trial in state and federal court in Floyd's killing. All four former officers are currently serving federal prison sentences. Two of the former officers, Tou Thao and J. Alexander Kueng, are set to go on trial later this month in Hennepin County District Court on charges of aiding and abetting Floyd's murder. As told to Sheletta Brundidge and Lily Coyle, Judeah's story was inspired by a book by Brundidge's daughter that Judeah read called “Cameron Goes to School'' in the Urban Ventures reading program. Brundidge said Judeah's book purposely doesn't dwell on the horrific details of Floyd's murder. There are no images of Derek Chauvin or of Floyd pinned to the ground. "I didn't want to relive that trauma for Judeah,” said Brundidge, who has authored three other children's books. “George Floyd died but the world moved. We moved in the right direction with racial equity and breaking down barriers and systemic things that have been in place for generations. We all moved. I didn't want her stuck in that spot." Stephen Maturen for MPR News A copy of the book “A Walk to the Store” sits on a table during an assembly at Legacy of Dr. Josie R. Johnson Montessori School on Friday in Minneapolis. Instead, Judeah's story follows her path, from sadness to starting to understand the power she had as a witness of this event. That's why Brundidge felt it was important for the book to also include a list of ways that parents can help kids through trauma. "As parents we're having to explain school shootings [at] football games, and why we've got to be careful or what we've got to look out for. These kids are going through a lot of trauma,” Brundidge said. “This little girl who people were wondering about, who was in the video, 'I wonder how she's doing? I think about her all the time.' Well, she's doing fine." The drawings by Darcy Bell-Myers of Stillwater show Judeah and her family in bright colors. Judeah wears a blue shirt that says “Love.” Judeah's book release was held at Legacy of Dr. Josie R. Johnson Montessori School in north Minneapolis. It's named for the pioneering Minnesota civil rights advocate, active since the 1950s, who helped pass anti-discrimination laws in the state. Painting symbolized a movement Bringing the ‘Icon of a Revolution' to George Floyd Square A movement memorialized Plywood art honoring George Floyd goes on display Johnson said it broke her heart when she heard Judeah witnessed Floyd's killing. But she was hopeful seeing Judeah read to a gym full of children. “To see her today be able to say she saw and she's still alive and awake as to what's going on, and to feel safe and secure, is what our struggle as Black adults is all about,” Johnson said. Judeah's father Ronnie Reynolds remembers some hard days after Floyd's killing. She couldn't sleep, she was crying all the time. The family moved to Chicago to get some distance. The book release was the first time they'd been back. "Me and my family left Minneapolis because the tragedy was too much for my little daughter to bear. She didn't want to go to school, she was scared of police and stuff,” Reynolds said. “And I was like, ‘OK, it's time to just move away for a while.'" Stephen Maturen for MPR News A balloon honoring the 49th birthday of George Floyd is prepared for release. But Reynolds has watched his daughter grow, get better and gain strength. When he read her book, he said it brought tears to his eyes to see how far she'd come. Judeah's book was released on what would have been George Floyd's 49th birthday. After hearing the book, dozens of children tramped into the parking lot behind the school. They sang "happy birthday," shouted George Floyd's name, and released a big red balloon. Brundidge told the kids it would float all the way to Floyd in heaven. Judeah said most kids she went to school with don't understand all that happened to her. She wants to share her story with other kids to help make positive change. “I'm too little to walk alone to the store,” Judeah's story closes. “But I'm big enough and brave enough to make things better in a very big way.” The book is published by Beaver's Pond Press and is available at AWalkToTheStore.com. Stephen Maturen for MPR News Students watch as a balloon honoring the 49th birthday of George Floyd is released during an assembly to celebrate the book “A Walk to the Store” at Legacy of Dr. Josie R.

(9-9-2022) Martin Luther King used news cameras as a means of exposing anti-Black violence by white mobs in the 1950s and 60s. Darnella Frazier used her phone to record and post the murder of George Floyd by Derek Chauvin in May 2020. These are just two of many people who have captured images of injustice for the world to see. The Prophetic Lens takes an important look at the use of the video camera as an indispensable prophetic tool for the security of Black lives and greater possibility for racial justice. Join us when Phil Allen Jr. founder of the non-profit organization Racial Solidarity Project based in Los Angeles, CA. shares his passion for dialogue, resistance, and solutions to the problem of systemic racism which was fostered by his family and personal life experiences as well as his educational journey, on this installment of Leonard Lopate at Large.
Where does the video of George Floyd's murder fit into the long history of the push for racial justice? Journalist and professor Marc Lamont Hill has just released a new book, co-authored with historian Todd Brewster. Titled Seen & Unseen, the work explores the ways in which technology and visual media have shaped our understanding of race in the past and how they are being used as tools in the fight for racial justice today. The impetus for Hill and Brewster's book was the murder of George Floyd and the uprising it sparked. Video of Floyd's murder was captured by Darnella Frazier, using her cell phone's camera. She posted the video to Facebook, where it quickly went viral, sparking the largest protest movement in U.S. history.On this episode of Into America, host Trymaine Lee speaks with fellow journalist and author Marc Lamont Hill about his new book, George Floyd, and the uses of technology and social media in the fight for racial justice.For a transcript, please visit msnbc.com/intoamerica.

During the trial of Derek Chauvin, the former Minneapolis police officer who was convicted of murdering George Floyd, many remember the emotional testimony of Darnella Frazier, the Black teen who filmed the murder. Her testimony and that of other eyewitnesses, many of whom were Black, were a central part of the prosecution's case. Black people didn't always have the right to testify in court in the U.S., though – and not just in the Jim Crow South, but in California as well, which had a Black testimony exclusion law on the books from 1850 to 1863. That lesser known law, and the consequences of it, is the subject of a new episode of the podcast “Gold Chains,” produced by the ACLU of Northern California. We talk to the podcast's creator, Tammerlin Drummond, about this history and why Black testimony mattered then – and still matters today.
This episode is about Kendrick Lamar and his recent Vanity Fair interview & guidelines on how you may enter for your own Pulitzer Prize.

A police officer crashed into Leneal Frazier's vehicle while chasing a suspect at high speed. Frazier later died from his injuries. Darnella Frazier, the teenager who filmed the murder of George Floyd, identified him as her uncle.--Tiffany Bui reports: A Minneapolis police officer was pursuing a carjacking and robbery suspect Tuesday morning when he hit two cars, killing a driver.Officer Brian Cummings crashed into Leneal Frazier's vehicle while chasing the suspect at high speed through the Camden neighborhood. Frazier later died from his injuries. The suspect escaped the police. On Wednesday morning, friends and family members gathered at the gas station near the intersection where Frazier was killed. Darnella Frazier, the teenager who filmed the murder of George Floyd, identified him as her uncle. He was the oldest of five siblings. Leneal Frazier's brother Orlando Frazier remembers him as the family protector. “He was the best big brother I could ever ask for,” said Frazier. “Anything I wanted, anything I needed, if he had, he'll get it for us. My brother was a protector, you know what I'm saying, like, every time we went somewhere, my brother was my bodyguard. I ain't have to worry about nothing. And then for this to happen to him, it's just unbelievable.”Frazier's family says he loved to barbecue, and manned the grill during the Fourth of July. Frazier leaves behind 6 children and a grandchild. His oldest daughter Lanesha says she wants to see the police officer arrested.“I just don't see how my dad is gone and that man is still here. I want justice. I want him to be put away,” she said.In 2019, the Minneapolis Police Department announced it would only allow chases for a “serious and violent felony or gross misdemeanor” or if the suspect is driving recklessly. The policy prohibits police from giving chase when it poses an unreasonable risk to officers and the public.MPD is conducting an internal investigation to see if the officer had his lights and sirens on as required.
In recent episodes of Rumble, Michael Moore has shared his ideas for an alternative to the American way of policing: The Department of Public Safety & Compassion. He's also shared his ideas for an alternative to our brutal and racist system of mass incarceration: The Department of Restorative Justice & Redemption. In this episode, Mike is joined by Desmond Cole, an award-winning journalist and activist who recently published his first book called “The Skin We're In: A Year of Black Resistance & Power.” They discuss the intellectual underpinnings of the movement to defund the police and abolish the prison system, why white liberals should not fear these ideas, and how our society will be better off when we decide to treat each other differently. Plus, Mike shares an update on Darnella Frazier, the courageous teenager who filmed the execution of George Floyd. On Tuesday night her uncle was killed by Minneapolis police who were in the middle of a reckless car chase. Madness. Tragic.

Haiti's President Jovenel Moïse was assassinated in his home by a team of mercenaries amid claims by opposition groups that he tried to illegally extend his presidential term by one year. Interim Prime Minister Claude Joseph is calling for an international investigation, and Biden promised assistance to fight for a safe and secure Haiti in a time of growing gun violence. Texas State Republicans start a special legislative session on Thursday to discuss 11 conservative agenda items that didn't pass the last session.

Trainiere dein Hörverstehen mit den Nachrichten der Deutschen Welle von Samstag – als Text und als verständlich gesprochene Audio-Datei.Demokratie-Aktivistin Chow aus Haft entlassen Die Hongkonger Demokratie-Aktivistin Agnes Chow ist nach fast sieben Monaten im Gefängnis freigekommen. Zusammen mit ihrem langjährigen Mitstreiter Joshua Wong war sie für die Beteiligung an Protesten im Jahr 2019 verurteilt worden. Chow wurde auch vorgeworfen, mit ausländischen Kräften zusammengearbeitet zu haben. In diesem Punkt gab es noch keine Anklageerhebung. Die Anschuldigungen basieren auf einem umstrittenen Sicherheitsgesetz, das China trotz internationaler Proteste verabschiedet hatte. Freiheitsrechte der Bürger in der Sonderverwaltungszone Hongkong werden hierdurch stark beschränkt. Millionen Impfdosen von Johnson & Johnson unbrauchbar wegen Verunreinigung Die US-Gesundheitsbehörde FDA hat die Entsorgung von Millionen Impfdosen des Herstellers Johnson & Johnson angeordnet, die in einer Fabrik in Baltimore hergestellt wurden. Die "New York Times" berichtete unter Berufung auf informierte Kreise, dass 60 Millionen Impfdosen betroffen seien. Die Produktion an dem Standort war von der FDA bereits im April gestoppt worden, nachdem die Inhaltsstoffe des Präparats aus Versehen mit denen des Vakzins von AstraZeneca vertauscht worden waren. Hacker stehlen drei Millionen Kundendaten bei VW in Nordamerika Unbekannte Täter haben nach einem Datenleck bei VW in Nordamerika persönliche Informationen von mehr als drei Millionen Menschen abgegriffen. Die Sicherheitslücke betreffe einen Kooperationspartner in den USA und Kanada, der online Daten zu Verkaufs- und Marketingzwecken gesammelt habe, teilte Volkswagen mit. In den USA waren zuletzt mehrere Unternehmen ins Visier von Hackern geraten. Im Mai wurde das US-Versorgungsunternehmen Colonial Pipeline Opfer eines Cyberangriffs mit einem Erpressungstrojaner. Das FBI konnte die Hacker fassen und fast das gesamte gezahlte Lösegeld sicherstellen. Ehemaliger kolumbianischer Staatschef bittet um Vergebung für Tötung von Zivilisten durch das Militär Vor der sogenannten Wahrheitskommission in Bogotá hat der ehemalige kolumbianische Staatschef Juan Manuel Santos die unrechtmäßige Tötung von Tausenden Zivilisten durch das Militär in den Jahren 2002 bis 2008 zugegeben. Damals waren mindestens 6402 zu Unrecht als Guerillakämpfer beschuldigte Menschen umgebracht worden, um die Rebellenorganisation FARC unter Druck zu setzen. Santos war von 2006 bis 2009 Verteidigungsminister und von 2010 bis 2018 Präsident Kolumbiens. Für den von ihm vermittelten Friedensvertrag mit der FARC hatte Santos 2016 den Friedensnobelpreis erhalten. Bundesentwicklungsminister Müller warnt vor Zunahme von Kinderarbeit Zum Internationalen Tag gegen Kinderarbeit an diesem Samstag hat Bundesentwicklungsminister Gerd Müller vor einem weltweiten Anstieg der Ausbeutung von Kindern gewarnt. Der CSU-Politiker nannte in den Zeitungen der Funke-Mediengruppe die steigenden Zahlen alarmierend. Müller wies darauf hin, dass viele der weltweit 160 Millionen arbeitenden Kinder für Produkte des täglichen Konsums der westlichen Welt im Einsatz seien, etwa auf Kaffee- und Kakaoplantagen oder in Minen, in denen Metalle für Smartphones gefördert werden. Am schlimmsten sei die Lage in Afrika. Dort müsse fast jedes fünfte Kind arbeiten. Pulitzer-Preise würdigen Berichte über Corona und Polizeigewalt in den USA Bei der Bekanntgabe der diesjährigen Pulitzer-Preise standen die Themen Corona und Polizeigewalt in den USA im Mittelpunkt. Die "New York Times" gewann die besonders wichtige Kategorie "Dienst an der Öffentlichkeit" mit ihrer Pandemie-Berichterstattung. Für journalistische Beiträge rund um den Tod des Afroamerikaners George Floyd bei einem Polizeieinsatz in Minneapolis erhielt die Lokalzeitung "Star Tribune" einen Preis. Mit einem Sonderpreis würdigte die Jury den Mut der damals 17-jährigen Darnella Frazier, die das Video des brutalen Vorgehens der Polizei aufnahm und ins Internet stellte. Italien gewinnt EURO-Auftaktspiel gegen die Türkei Mit einem deutlichen Sieg ist Turnierfavorit Italien in die Fußball-Europameisterschaft gestartet. Im Olympiastadion von Rom gewann der viermalige Weltmeister mit 3:0 gegen die Türkei. Die Italiener sind damit seit fast drei Jahren in 28 Spielen ungeschlagen. Zuvor war die wegen der Corona-Pandemie um ein Jahr verschobene EURO 2020 mit einer 15 Minuten kurzen Zeremonie eröffnet worden. Das pan-europäische Turnier mit 24 Mannschaften wird in den kommenden vier Wochen in insgesamt zehn Ländern ausgetragen. Das erste Spiel der deutschen Mannschaft soll am Dienstag gegen Frankreich stattfinden.

U.S. President Biden traveled to England this week and is meeting with world leaders of the Group of 7 industrialized nations summit. World leaders are pledging to share at least 1 billion coronavirus shots with struggling countries around the world by the end of 2022. Canada plans to relax COVID-19 border restrictions for fully vaccinated citizens returning home starting in early July. Fake Covid-19 Vaccines Pose New Threat in Africa where that continent is lagging behind in its inoculation effort and is already the world's largest market for fake medications. A U.S. government national laboratory report on the origins of Covid-19 found it plausible the virus was leaked from the Institute of Virology in Wuhan, China and deserves further investigation. Here in the United States, Pfizer and BioNTech will ask regulators in September to expand use to some younger children. The vaccine maker is now testing their vaccine in children under 12 years old. Moderna has asked U.S. health regulators to authorize the use of its Covid-19 shot in adolescents ages 12 to 17. ——- British police officer Wayne Couzens, 48, has pleaded guilty to the kidnapping and rape of Sarah Everard. The 33-year-old marketing executive disappeared on March 3 after walking home from a friend's house in south London. Her body was found a week later in Kent woods, 80 kilometres away. ——— The Minneapolis Star Tribune won the Pulitzer Prize for breaking news reporting for its coverage of the murder of George Floyd at the hands of the police while Reuters and the Atlantic shared the award for explanatory reporting. The Atlantic's Ed Yong won the 2021 Pulitzer Prize in explanatory reporting for a series of articles that anticipated the course of the coronavirus pandemic, clarified its dangers, and the American government's failure to curb it. The Pulitzer Prize board awarded a ‘special citation' to Darnella Frazier, the 17-year-old who recorded George Floyd's murder on her cellphone in May 2020. ——— Technical problems caused dozens of websites to go down briefly, including news outlets CNN, The New York Times, The Guardian, the Financial Times, some Amazon pages, Reddit, Twitch, and Britain's government home page. The cause was an outage at the cloud computing service Fastly. The San Francisco-based Company said there was a technical problem for about an hour mid-morning European time and was not a cyber attack. The company blamed the problem on a software bug that was triggered when a customer changed a setting. —— South Africans are eagerly waiting for proof of A South African woman reportedly giving birth to 10 babies — breaking a world record set just last month by A Malian woman who gave birth to nine babies in Morocco. Gosiame Thamara Sithole, who is a 37-year-old mom of six-year-old twins, thought she was having 8 babies. she was surprised when 10 babies emerged when she gave birth by Caesarean section at a Pretoria hospital Monday. —— Prince Harry and Meghan, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, announced last Sunday the birth of their second child - a daughter they named Lilibet “Lili” Diana Mountbatten-Windsor. Last week, Britain's Queen Elizabeth was given a rose named after her late husband Prince Philip to mark what would have been his 100th birthday on Thursday, Buckingham Palace said. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/sabah-fakhoury/message

On the anniversary of George Floyd's murder by police officer Derek Chauvin, questions remain about the emerging role of technology in the criminal justice process. Bystanders like Darnella Frazier, the teenager who recorded the death of Mr. Floyd on her smartphone, are now empowered to film police officers engaged in egregious and potentially unlawful acts. And footage from police body cameras can provide the public an opportunity to view violent incidents with their own eyes. In this episode, host Nicol Turner Lee speaks with Brookings scholars Rashawn Ray and Makada Henry-Nickie, and Keesha Middlemass, Associate Professor in Political Science at Howard University, about the benefits, risks, and limitations of technology in the criminal justice process.

Tonight on the Last Word: George Floyd’s family meets with President Biden, Vice President Harris and congressional leaders one year after George Floyd’s murder. Also, the Manhattan district attorney convenes the grand jury to decide whether to bring charges in the Trump Organization criminal probe. Plus, Democratic Sens. Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema “implore” Republican senators to support the January 6th commission. And a new Texas law makes it easier to carry a handgun without a permit. Rep. Val Demings, Daniel Alonso, Jennifer Palmieri, Eugene Robinson, Rep. Joaquin Castro and Caroline Randall Williams join Lawrence O’Donnell.
On the first anniversary of George Floyd's death, Don starts the show by reflecting on where the U.S. stands after its year of racial reckoning. He shares a statement from Darnella Frazier, the teenager who recorded Floyd's murder, as well as progress on the George Floyd Policing Act. Don also points out that, despite the reckoning, it still took the GOP 5 days to call out Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene's anti-Semitic comments. Don is then joined by Senior Law Enforcement Analyst Andrew McCabe and Senior Legal Analyst Laura Coates to explore the facts and implications of the Washington Post's report that the Manhattan DA convened a grand jury to consider potential charges in an investigation into the Trump Organization. Later, CNN Senior Legal Analyst Elie Honig and CNN Legal Analyst Carrie Cordero go deeper into the likelihood of a Trump indictment. Director of the Domestic Policy Council Susan Rice shares why she's optimistic about the George Floyd Police Act's eventual passage, and whether she thinks working across the aisle is possible. George Floyd's brother, Philonise Floyd, and Floyd family attorney Ben Crump also join Don to discuss the Floyd family's visit to the White House and the implications that Floyd's death had on the nation. Political analyst Amanda Carpenter and CNN Sr. Political Analyst, Kirsten Powers discuss the political implications of the Manhattan DA's investigation, as well as how the GOP's silence on Rep. Taylor Greene's anti-Semitic comments showcases Trump's power over Republican leaders. Next, Executive Director of the USC Shoah Foundation Stephen D. Smith explains why Rep. Taylor Greene's comments comparing House mask rules to the Holocaust are dangerous and a “willful manipulation” and misuse of history for political ends. Amid U.S. health leaders' calls for an investigation into an investigation into the origins of COVID-19, Thomas Bollyky, Director of the Global Health Program at the Council on Foreign Relations, joins Don to explore the questions around the unknown and explains why he believes it's essential to launch a thorough investigation in China. Finally, exploring the resistance to the defunding the police as violent crime spikes across America. CNN Security Correspondent Josh Campbell reports.

A nation and a world exhale together in a deep healing breath in the name of George Floyd. The poison of racism diluted a bit more in the guilty verdict of former police officer Derek Chauvin as a 9-year-old child stood witness to a murder in broad daylight in the streets of her hometown. A modern-day lynching caught on 17-year-old Darnella Frazier’s cell phone changed the course of history. In light of the guilty verdict, we take another look at our “realities of anti-indigenous and anti-black racism” program but, get an update from Minneapolis Bishop Harding Smith. And a conversation with social justice and law enforcement advocate – former RCMP staff/sergeant Alain Babineau for a reaction on what this means for Canadian policing.
Darnella Frazier, Teen Who Filmed Floyd's Murder, Praised For Making Verdict Possible The Black teenager who recorded the now-infamous video of Derek Chauvin pressing his knee on George Floyd's neck for nearly 10 minutes last May is being hailed as a hero following the former Minneapolis police officer's conviction on murder and manslaughter charges. Darnella Frazier, who was 17 at the time, testified during the trial that she has spent nights apologizing to Floyd for "not doing more." Now, people across the country — including Floyd's family, President Biden and numerous celebrities and elected officials — are crediting her bravery and quick thinking in capturing the video that they say made the guilty verdict possible. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/Teddy-G/support

The anguishing cell phone video of George Floyd's murder, captured by teenager Darnella Frazier, lay at the heart of the prosecution's case against the former police officer convicted of his killing. Bystander videos can provide important counter-narratives to official accounts, and the very act of filming law enforcement officers can sometimes de-escalate violent confrontations. But once widely circulated, videos documenting police misconduct can be deeply disturbing to communities already traumatized by violence. We'll talk about how to film police encounters safely, effectively and ethically.

We may be two white women talking about this judicial moment, but the Minneapolis police brutality case was a crucible for everyone in this country, regardless of race. Is progress a victory? What about the hundreds of other police brutality cases from coast to coast? How will the national curriculum change and how will that change affect the thousands of microaggressions and misunderstandings which happen every day if you are Black in America?

Three hundred and thirty-one days ago, Derek Chauvin put his knee on the neck of George Floyd for 9 minutes and 29 seconds. George Floyd took his last breath on his stomach, hands cuffed behind his back.His death, captured on cell phone video by 17-year-old Darnella Frazier, sparked a summer of unrest and calls to abolish the police around the country. This week, after a televised trial and around 11 hours of deliberation, the jury found Derek Chauvin guilty of all three charges he faced: second- and third-degree murder and second-degree manslaughter. It was the first time in Minnesota state history that a white police officer has been held accountable for killing a Black man. It was the first time that America could call Derek Chauvin what many have long believed he is. Murderer.With this verdict, what has been achieved? And what work remains? Shaquille Brewster, correspondent for NBC News and MSNBC, explains the reforms activists in Minneapolis hope to see next. And Shaquille and Trymaine talk about what it has been like covering this case as Black journalists.And in Tulsa, Oklahoma, Trymaine sits down with Tiffany Crutcher, whose brother Terence Crutcher was shot and killed by police in 2016. They talk about how the families of people who have been killed by police are working together to push for greater police accountability and a system that brings us closer to justice.For a transcript, please visit https://www.msnbc.com/intoamerica.

This episode takes a look at the Derek Chauvin conviction and features the young lady that shot the video of George Floyd's murder, Darnella Frazier. It also features my conversation with one of my oldest friends, Minnesota State Senator, John Hoffman, who actually knew George.
As you've heard this week, a jury found former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin guilty on all counts in the killing of George Floyd. The key to that case was the video taken by teenager Darnella Frazier with her smartphone. Molly speaks with Allissa Richardson, a professor of journalism at the University of Southern California. She's the author of the book “Bearing Witness While Black: African Americans, Smartphones and the New Protest #Journalism.” And she argues that smartphones, in most people’s pockets, are a powerful tool for accountability.
Welcome to episode 216 ("Luvin' Google Ain't Wrong") of the EdTech Situation Room from April 21, 2021, where technology news meets educational analysis. This week Jason Neiffer (@techsavvyteach) and Wesley Fryer (@wfryer) discussed the impending return of Parler to the Apple App Store, the amazing dynamics of WikiPedia following the January 6th U.S. Capitol Riot, and the tendency of negative political tweets to garner more user attention than others. The important role of Darnella Frazier in documenting the homicide of George Floyd with her smartphone, Apple's redesigned iMacs with Apple silicon chips, upgraded iPad Pros, and newly announced "Air Tags" by Apple at their marketing event this week. The start of "the podcast war" between Apple, Spotify and others reflected in Apple's announced changes to the Apple Podcasts feature of Apple Music, "performance mode" in the Microsoft Edge browser (similar to Chrome 'tab suspender' extensions minimizing browser user of computer memory), and new Chromebooks from Lenovo were also discussed. The potential for adblockers to mess up Google Documents in your browser (hopefully a bug that has now been fixed) and the new "documents" tab in Google Photos were additional Google headlines discussed by Jason and Wes. Geeks of the Week included computer/device reselling websites Swappa and Gazelle, and a Saturday, April 24th free webinar by Wes about innovative teaching strategies for language teachers.

This episode takes a look at the Derek Chauvin conviction and features the young lady that shot the video of George Floyd's murder, Darnella Frazier. It also features my conversation with one of my oldest friends, Minnesota State Senator, John Hoffman, who actually knew George.
It's our anniversary! (Thank you for listening)This podcast started with a family discussion on schooling through an apocalypse. We learned however that this podcast evolved into our year-long journey and exploration into important discussions that families need to have. We hope that this episode like all of the others serves as an invitation to have more meaningful discussions about justice, civics, race, and wellness.In this episode, we talk about how to cultivate a justice mindset in kids. We briefly discuss the Derek Chauvin verdict. We ask that our listeners please keep the family of George Floyd as well as the witness who filmed this atrocity, Darnella Frazier in your prayers.

As you've heard this week, a jury found former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin guilty on all counts in the killing of George Floyd. The key to that case was the video taken by teenager Darnella Frazier with her smartphone. Molly speaks with Allissa Richardson, a professor of journalism at the University of Southern California. She's the author of the book “Bearing Witness While Black: African Americans, Smartphones and the New Protest #Journalism.” And she argues that smartphones, in most people’s pockets, are a powerful tool for accountability.

This week's episode features a comprehensive reading of Judges 11 by a few HJD listeners, a creative retelling of the the story of Jephthah's daughter, a lesson from Rev. Dr. Katie Geneva Cannon (1950-2018), and a brief moment of gratitude for George Floyd and Darnella Frazier. Books by Rev.

Radio Public|LibSyn|YouTube|Patreon|Square Cash (Share code: Send $5, get $5!) David Waldman gets us over the hump, that many of us will sled down this morning. Derek Chauvin is guilty. Guilty. Guilty. Accountability, and maybe a step towards justice took place last night, as Black lives mattered, for a moment. Justice requires neverending vigilance. In this case, the credit goes to 17 year old Darnella Frazier and her cellphone videography prowess. Then, police in Columbus, Ohio released body-camera footage of the police shooting that left a teenage girl dead minutes before Derek Chauvin’s verdict was announced. It isn’t quite the death of racism, but nonetheless racists sure are running scared. MT Greene hid where she wouldn’t see anyone last night. Tucker Carlson was so frightened of the looming threat to the white race that he just might have peed himself on national TV. Tucker’s advertisers would be terrified, if he had any. You don’t want to hear what Donald Trump had to say. (Neither do I) Former US intelligence director James Clapper is pushing for an Australian investigation into Rupert Murdoch to fight “truth decay”. Greg Dworkin remembers Walter Mondale, who it bears repeating, was an old-school, true Democrat, public servant, mensch of a Vice President, and as Greg points out, often felt obligated to tell the public the truth, sometimes at greater than optimal levels. 200 million doses and we aren’t halfway home. People keep coming up with clever ways to convince boneheads, but boneheads hate experts almost as much as they hate math. Here’s an idea: For each vaccine shot, give them a lottery ticket. The House has been frozen at 435 representatives, but just like those 9 Supreme Court justices, that’s just a number. More representatives, however might bring more psychos like Rick Roeber, who physically, sexually and mentally abused his children, and drowned puppies. The inspector general at the Department of Homeland Security blocked investigations into tear gassing and rubber bullets for Donald Trump’s stroll through Lafayette Square last year. Republican Lisa Murkowski broke Gop ranks to support Vanita Gupta’s nomination. Democrats blocked Republican censure of Maxine Waters until the Gop cleaned up its own act. Democrats put the time they spent idling due to Republican obstruction to good use, by coming up with a rule change to set aside those rules being misused.
Sami, Kaitlin, and Amanda are back to react to the guilty verdict in the trial of Derek Chauvin. They reflect on the year it took to get here, how rare the conviction is, and why they fear it won’t impact future attempts to hold police accountable. Then, they discuss the police shooting of Ma’Khia Bryant, and Kaitlin shares her own experience with over-policing as a teenager. Finally, they discuss how both Darnella Frazier, who filmed George Floyd’s death, and Bryant have been deprived the privilege of youth.

It took only 10 hours of deliberations for a Minneapolis jury to find former police office Derek Chauvin guilty of second-degree murder, third-degree murder and second-degree manslaughter of George Floyd. The decision was swift, overwhelming, obvious, and yet, somehow, shocking. Maybe it should not have been such a shock that jurors in the political district that elected Rep. Ilhan Omar to Congress (twice) made the right decision. However, as Michael Moore explains in this EMERGENCY PODCAST SYSTEM episode of Rumble, it is not normal for these cases to go the right way. He shares his feeling of total shock, plus his warning to white Americans and police officers who do not want to see America change into a more diverse, just, and equitable society. He also explains how this one act of accountability is not the massive, revolutionary change we need to address white supremacy, criminal justice reform, and anti-Black racism. Finally, he pays tribute to Darnella Frazier, the courageous teenager who filmed the the Chauvin murder with a steady hand and a lot of gumption.

A 9 year old who witnessed the death of George Floyd testified in court Tuesday against Derek Chauvin. In an exclusive interview with the Racial Reckoning project, the girl - who's name is Judea - said she had to be brave in court like she was brave the day she saw George Floyd die.“I met George Floyd's daughter today,” Judea told reporter Georgia Fort. “She was pretty nice. Her mom kept crying, saying ‘thank you, thank you.'”During Judea's testimony the Judge decided not to transmit video of her or any of the other three underage witnesses who took the stand Tuesday. Prosecuting attorney Jerry Blackwell asked Judea how seeing Chauvin with his knee on George Floyd's neck made her feel. “I was sad and kind of mad,” said Judea on the witness stand, “‘cuz it feels like it was stopping his breathing and kind of hurting him.” Judea's cousin Darnella Frazier also testified in court. Frazier was 17 when she filmed the now viral video of Derek Chauvin kneeling on George Floyd's neck.“It's been nights I've stayed up apologizing and apologizing to George Floyd for not doing more and not physically interacting and not saving his life, but it's not what I should have done - it's what HE should have done,” Frazier said, indicating to Derek Chauvin. While Frazier didn't know Floyd, she says it could have been her father or her brother under Chauvin's knee. Georgia Fort reporting for the Racial Reckoning project.
On this Friday edition of The PEN Pod, PEN America CEO Suzanne Nossel discusses what to expect as we head into the final stretch of the campaign season; our decision to honor the young woman who documented George Floyd's murder, Darnella Frazier; and how a brazen killing in France reflects our perilous moment. Then, Kevin Young discusses his plans for documenting our current history as the incoming director of the National Museum of African American History and Culture, and he talks about his new book of African American poetry. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/penamerica/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/penamerica/support
This week on Episode 467 of Priority One --- We ‘Trek Out' Picard's meeting with Superman, Sir Patrick's activism, Dr. Crusher's possible return, and the death of a Captain's log. In Star Trek gaming, we talk Timelines “Someone Like Me” event, A Roddenberry Recovery Mission in Sansar, and Andrew Looney of LooneyLabs to talk about updates to the game Star Trek: Fluxx. Of course, as always, before we wrap up the show, we'll open hailing frequencies for your incoming messages Let us know on social media like Facebook, Twitter, or by visiting our website! This Weeks Community Question Is: CQ: Do you want to see Picard rekindle his romance with Dr. Crusher? TREK IT OUT by Jake Morgan The Captain and Superman Discuss Careers I'm about to get controversial, so buckle up. Star Trek is the best Sci-Fi Franchise - and Superman is the best Superhero. Better than Captain America, Spider-man, Wonder Woman, The Flash, and even Batman. Now I, the writer of this segment - Jake Morgan - know that Elio is not going to read that. But I tried. Anywho, imagine our excitement when we learned that Captain Jean-Luc Picard and Kal-El would sit down to interview one another! This week, on Variety's “Actors on Actors”, Sir Patrick Stewart and Henry Cavill met through the magic of modern technology to talk about their lives, careers, and Cavill's first time meeting the legendary thespian. The pair discussed their love of being on-stage, playing someone other than themselves, and Stewart recounted how his early experiences at the Bristol Old Vic Theater school translated into the ensemble elements of Star Trek: The Next Generation ”I had been thought of as being a bit weird where I was growing up because I wanted to act. To my friends, it was just I was a show off and that was all. And it wasn't true, there were other reasons. But then to find a whole community - a society of people who felt just like me. And I think it's one of the reasons why I've come to love companies so much. Whether it's on stage, or doing a show like Picard or Next Generation. We were a company. I continually insisted that we should think of ourselves as an ensemble. There wasn't just Jean-Luc Picard sitting in the Captain's chair, but we were a group who were all united in doing one thing.” Stewart discussed his role of Co-Executive Producer on Star Trek: Picard, and after admitting he wasn't a writer, did give Cavill some insight on how he contributed to Picard. ”I loved being in that room. I wish that I could have recorded every moment that I sat with our writers. But the only things I think that I actually contributed in terms of dialogue were jokes. We had a piece about one of the other characters, he's reading a very famous - I think an Asimov book. A Science Fiction book. And I said ‘you know I can never really get into Science Fiction, it didn't mean anything to me.' To have Captain Picard talking about Science Fiction as though it was an alien concept was something which I really enjoyed. And ‘Tea, Earl Grey, Decaf was my idea as well, because I thought it was time to have some jokes from the Captain.” The conversation is a little over an hour, and covers Stewarts praise for his Picard co-stars, strolls down memory lane, and his love for Sir Ian Mckellen. If you didn't love Henry Cavill and Sir Patrick before the video, you certainly will after. We highly suggest giving it a watch! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7TcFBP_M31Y Stewart Talks to TV Guide Sir Patrick was busy this week. On June 24th, the 79 year old Picard-Portrayer spoke with TV Guide about Star Trek, naughty words, and the importance of activism. Stewart talked about the use of profanity in Star Trek's newest offerings, and his reaction to first reading the vulgarity in Picard's script 'I think that Picard had actually taken an active decision not to abuse language that would be unpleasant for people to hear whether it is abusive or offensive in some way, and he stuck to it. Even if he wanted to say, "Damn, blast," or whatever, he would, for the most part, manage to deny himself that pleasure. When I came across the first swear word in the first script, I can honestly tell you, I was deeply shocked. I grew up in a family where swearing was second nature. Every other word was a swear word, and yet when I read... it might have been the F-word that I read and I was shocked and unsettled by it. I think I did have a conversation with Michael [Chabon] about this use of language and how comfortable were we with it. It was something that had never been a part of previous Star Trek.“' Stewart moved on to more important issues, discussing the necessity of youth activism and the heroism of those involved. ”there are so many ways in which we've recently seen this illustrated. The young woman, the teenager, who held her telephone camera up long enough so that the horror of what was being done to that poor man [George Floyd] whose neck was being knelt on. It was a young woman [Darnella Frazier] who brought that to us. Our world environmental hero is a young woman [Greta Thunberg], at the moment, and that is going to continue as well. [...] we are seeing examples of social commitment and of opposition to all forms of racism. It is one of the few things that I do find encouraging about our society today.” Gates McFadden Coming to Picard? Wherefore art thou, Doctor Beverly Crusher? The Enterprise's Chief Medical Officer and on-again-off-again love interest of Captain Jean-Luc Picard was a glaring omission in Picards first season. According to Dr. Crusher, or should we say Gates McFadden, that may change! Speaking with Trekmovie.com on Monday June 29th, McFadden not-so-coyly indicated that she may reprise her role in Picard season 2, saying ”Well, I don't know. There's a good chance, let's put it that way. But I have no contract signed.” McFadden also talked about Crusher's aforementioned relationship with Picard, recalling ”The character [had] become matron-like, and it was just weird. I was no longer really the love interest of Picard and that was one of the primary things—I was hired by Gene [Roddenberry] himself as the love interest of Picard. That got changed. And that wasn't changed by me.”. But could we see Gene's vision of a Picard-Crusher ‘ship' come back? McFadden isn't so sure ”I think that Patrick made a decision at some point that he was opening it up to other relationships in our show, and in the movies, certainly. So I can't imagine that it's suddenly going to be different, but it doesn't mean that there's not a relationship there. Obviously, from all of our scenes, there is a relationship and that's great. So who knows? I have no clue, but it would be lovely.” Shatner Ends 100 Day Captain's Logs Way back on March 18th, William Shatner shared a very Star Trek tweet with the world - a Captain's log. After One Hundred days of logs, Shatner decided to call off the popular thread in a very - familiar way. On June 27th, the Twitter mainstay posted. https://twitter.com/WilliamShatner/status/1276882370117812227 If you'll recall, that was a reasonable facsimile of the line uttered by Captain James T. Kirk following his untimely demise in Star Trek: Generations. Rest assured, there haven't been any reports of Shatner being crushed by a bridge...we checked just to be sure! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y8_oqgPwHfI Star Trek Gaming News by Shane Hoover and Thomas Reynolds It's been three weeks since our call to action and Cryptic Studios has not yet responded in any way. Until that time, we cannot, in good conscience, continue to endorse a company that holds a Star Trek license and has endeavored to support other worthy causes in the past but, will not commit to actionable goals towards inclusivity, equitability, and social justice. Star Trek Timelines Event: “Someone Like Me” Star Trek Timelines' “Ripples & Waves” Mega-Event comes to a close with “Someone Like Me,” running from July 2nd to July 9th. This Hybrid Galaxy/Skirmish Event will give the returning 5-star Desert Archer as its Ranked Reward crewmember. Event crew includes last week's 5-star Krenim Guest Chakotay, the new 5-star Ocampa Tanis as seen in the Voyager episode “Cold Fire,” and existing 4-star/7-year-ensign Rogue Harry Kim. Look for Chakotay variants, Kim variants, and Warp Theorist or Caregiver crew members to give small bonuses during the event's Galaxy phase. They'll then return medium bonuses in the Skirmish phase, featuring the new 5-star Krenim Weapon Ship, the returning 4-star USS Voyager, and the 2-star Madeleine...no wait, it's the 2-star Val Jean. A Roddenberry Recovery Mission If you're a veteran listener to our show, you've heard us mention the Roddenberry Nexus before. It's a Star Trek focused world within the Sansar virtual reality social platform. They've done great events like virtual fan engagements with insiders like Doug Drexler and Rod Roddenberry. They have an amazing, interactive Star Trek museum. Wait, there's a problem there, actually. Because according to a contest announcement we've just received, the Roddenberry Museum in Sansar has been a victim of a Rodden-Rob'erry! Here's what we're told: “An unidentified group broke into the Roddenberry Museum in Nexus and stole some of the items in our exhibit. We are not sure who did this or why. Our initial investigation has determined that they have hidden all of the items throughout the various worlds in Sansar. We are turning to you to aid us in the recovery of our collection. Considering the knowledge and talents of Roddenberry fans, we are confident that your abilities can help us return all the items to our museum where they belong.” How do we help, you ask? What's in it for me, you ask? I don't even own a VR system, you say? Well, let me stop you right there. For starters, you don't NEED VR to experience Sansar. Just head over to sansar.com, and download the Desktop Mode client. Then, stay tuned to Sansar and Roddenberry's social media outlets for clues! Each clue will guide you to a different world within Sansar, where the stolen items can be recovered. For the first three participants who find every stolen item, Roddenberry has some great prizes. So Captains, maybe brush up on your detective skills with “Elementary, Dear Data” and then get busy solving the case for Roddenberry! NOTE: The launch date for the event has been delayed but, be sure to follow @sansarofficial & @roddenberry for more information and upcoming announcements.
Lost in the George Floyd murder was the innocence of Darnella Frazier, who bravely recorded his last minutes of life. Let's talk about the strength of Black women, the hurt of the Black family, and the reasons why we all need to say a prayer for Darnella. #DarnellaStrong
