Episode 62: Racial Equity, The Equal Act & Holocaust Remembrance Day

Prison Reform Advocate DeJarion Nichols & Families Against Mandatory Minimums (FAMM) President Kevin Ring believe in Racial Equity in Sentencing. In this incredible conversation, listen as both DeJarion and Kevin make the case for "The Equal Act", legislation that looks to end the disparity in sentences for offenses involving crack versus powder cocaine. How have both DeJarion and Kevin's personal experiences being incarcerated affected their view on our legal system and how sentencing is generally harsher on Black and Brown people? What are some keep points within the Equal Act that everyone should be aware of. Is the Equal Act gaining enough support in Congress to become a law? This is an eye opening conversation that is sure to spark further discussion within social groups far and wide. Listen and Share with everyone!

Dr. Deborah Dash Moore is Frederick G. L. Huetwell Professor of History and Professor of Judaic Studies at the University of Michigan and the editor-in-chief of The Posen Library. In anticipation of Holocaust Remembrance Day, listen as Dr. Moore explains exactly why it is important to continue to discuss Jewish ancestors faced and why we must never forget. Dr. Moore details wonderful ways The Posen Library helps educate the masses on Jewish history including the Holocaust, corrects common misconceptions about Jewish history and goes into detail regarding how educating others is her way of fufilling God's purpose for her. This is as enlightening a discussion as we've had on Tell Us The Truth. Enjoy!
