This week's episode is going to be a little off kilter from our most recent cases. We are taking the spotlight off them and putting that light on police brutality, social injustice, and the down right evil in the world we live in today where a person, any person but specifically a person of color can be victimized, mistreated, and even murdered by those sworn to protect and serve your community. For tonight's case, we are going to do a breakdown of the Sandra Bland arrest video, and the conspiracy of muder by the Waller County Jail in Prairie View, Texas.

Prairie View, TX - On July 10, 2015, Sandra Bland was on her way to the grocery store when she was pulled over by a State Trooper for not using her turn signal. What should have been a routine traffic stop escalated wildly out of control and ended with Sandra being arrested. She would not leave the Waller County Jail alive.----more----Sources, etc:Say Her Name: the life of Sandra BlandNathan, Debbie. "What Happened To Sandra Bland?", The NationMontgomery, David.

Our guest this week has decentered her own power and voice with an embodied solidarity rarely seen. Rev. Hannah Adair Bonner is an ordained in the United Methodist Church. She is the curator of The Shout, a spoken-word poetry focused artivism movement seeking to nurture a community of multi-ethnic, multi-generational, justice-seeking, solidarity-building people. Along with other community members, she maintained daily vigil at the Waller County Jail for the year following Sandra Bland's death there on July 13, 2015. She and Sandra’s friend started a movement around Sandra Bland and Hannah used her platforms to share Sandy Speaks videos, videos, which Sandra herself had recorded prior to her death and rich with hope, insight, humanity and faith. We discuss the importance of art is moving from information to transformation as well as the importance of creating space and the context in which art can be received.
A conversation about the activism and legacy of Sandra Bland with Reverend Hannah Bonner. Reverend Bonner led prayer vigils at Waller County Jail in the aftermath of Bland’s death and led the campaign to correct the public narrative of Sandra Bland's life. Bonner calls white Christians to a continuous discomfort in the path of racial reconciliation and a solidarity that does not break. The event will begin with musical selections from the University of Kentucky Black Voices Choir. Presented by Central Baptist Church and Baptist Seminary of Kentucky.
The Huffington Post released a scathing report revealing that 811 people — or more 2 people per day — have died while being held in an American jail since Sandra Bland’s death inside of the Waller County Jail in Texas one year ago. Unlike prisons, suicide is the leading cause of death in U.S. jails since people are sent there right after they’ve been arrested and are often angry, desperate or afraid. According to the report, they may also be intoxicated or have psychiatric conditions that are easily overlooked by police officers. We discussed this shocking report and solutions to decrease the fatality rate inside U.S. jails with Margo Schlanger, Professor of Law at the University of Michigan Law School
