Howard University Professor Dr. Greg Carr Details The History Of Abuse & Resistance In Baltimore & America
As much as people say violence and civil unrest is counterproductive, the reality is that violence is the language that captures both the attention and the imagination of 'the state'. The media, national and local alike, tend not to pay attention to Black suffering, and certainly don't listen to the cries of Black people, unless there is some level of pressure and disruption to normal societal operations.
In the TV One segment below, Howard University professor Dr. Greg Carr discusses the historical context of the Baltimore uprising last week, and the role of violence in capturing the attention of the media and elected officials.
