Black Lives Matter - Podcast

Young black men are the group most discriminated against in society right now: no quality education; no job; stopped and searched weekly; incarcerated frequently and for excessive periods. Most black people have been choking for years, often afraid to speak out about their personal experiences as the system is so stacked against them that there would likely be recriminations.

The surge in support for Black Lives Matter in the UK has led to an unprecedented interest in understanding how racism is woven our society and institutions – and importantly, what we can all do to dismantle harmful racist structures.

Change is going to come from young people in rebellion about racism, the environment, gender equality and women’s rights, and for LGBTQ positive visibility. These are generational changes and they give us hope.”
