About this listen
In this episode, Councilwoman Victoria Parks joins CJ at the table to explore the legacy of race and law amid a Cincinnati street brawl that went viral. The incident unearths the longstanding issues of behavior and consequences along racial lines where Black behavior is policed and criminalized at a much higher rate than White behavior. There’s a legacy of bad behavior from Black people often being punished accordingly and bad behavior from White people most likely being pardoned and tolerated with impunity. In this episode we unmask the realities reflected in the historical accounts of Ohio’s Black Laws as the anchor for a candid conversation.
