In this powerful episode, we dive into the heartbreaking and infuriating story of Rekia Boyd, a 22-year-old Black woman whose life was tragically cut short in 2012 by an off-duty Chicago police officer. What unfolded that night sparked outrage, protests, and a relentless fight for justice that continues to resonate today.
Join us as we explore the details of the case, the systemic issues it exposed, and the community’s unwavering demand for accountability. We’ll hear from activists, legal experts, and those who knew Rekia, painting a vivid picture of her life, the injustice she faced, and the ongoing struggle to ensure her story is never forgotten.
This is more than just a case—it’s a call to action, a reminder of the work still to be done, and a testament to the power of collective voices in the fight for justice. Tune in, get informed, and be part of the conversation.
