- "Historian Khalil Gibran Muhammad: Policing in U.S. Was Built on Racism & Should Be Put on Trial." Democracy Now, Youtube. [16:32] A Minnesota jury's conviction of former police officer Derek Chauvin on three counts for murdering George Floyd does not go far enough in dismantling police brutality and state-sanctioned violence, says historian and author Khalil Gibran Muhammad. "We know that while the prosecution was performing in such a way to make the case that Derek Chauvin was a rogue actor, the truth is that policing should have been on trial in that case," Muhammad says. "We don't have a mechanism in our current system of laws in the way that we treat individual offenses to have that accountability and justice delivered." Muhammad also lays out the racist history of slave patrols that led to U.S. police departments, which he details his book, "The Condemnation of Blackness: Race, Crime, and the Making of Modern Urban America."

- "I HAVE A DREAM." Delivered by Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., on August 28, 1963. I am happy to join with you today in what will go down in history as the greatest demonstration for freedom in the history of the Nation.Five score years ago, a great American, in whose symbolic shadow we stand today, signed the Emancipation Proclamation. This momentous decree came as a great beacon of light and hope to millions of Negro slaves who had been seared in the flames of withering injustice. It came as the joyous daybreak to end the long night of captivity.But one hundred years later, the Negro still is not free. One hundred years later, the life of the Negro is still sadly crippled by the manacle of segregation and the chain of discrimination. One hundred years later, the Negro lives on a lonely island of poverty in the midst of a vast ocean of material prosperity. One hundred years later, the Negro is still languishing in the corner of American society and finds himself an exile in his own land. So we have come here today to dramatize a shameful condition.

- "Frederick Ludwig Hoffman." Frederick Ludwig Hoffman (May 2, 1865 Varel, Germany - February 23, 1946, San Diego, California) was an American statistician who showed great foresight on some public health issues, but his work in some areas was biased by his racialist views. Hoffman was educated in the common and private schools in Germany. He was a racist against African Americans in his studies of incarceration. He moved to the United States and became statistician for the Prudential Insurance Company of America in 1891. He was employed as statistician by many organizations and did research in ethnology and kindred subjects. He also served as President of the American Statistical Association in 1911. A collection of his papers are held at the National Library of Medicine. Accessed April 27, 2021. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frederick_Ludwig_Hoffman
- "Scientific Racism." Scientific racism, sometimes termed biological racism, is the pseudoscientific belief that empirical evidence exists to support or justify racism (racial discrimination), racial inferiority, or racial superiority. Historically, scientific racism received credence throughout the scientific community, but it is no longer considered scientific. Dividing humankind into biologically distinct groups is sometimes called racialism, race realism, or race science by its proponents. Modern scientific consensus rejects this view as being irreconcilable with modern genetic research. Scientific racism employs anthropology (notably physical anthropology), anthropometry, craniometry, and other disciplines or pseudo-disciplines, in proposing anthropological typologies supporting the classification of human populations into physically discrete human races, some of which might be asserted to be superior or inferior to others. Scientific racism was common during the period from the 1600s to the end of World War II. Since the second half of the 20th century, scientific racism has been criticized as obsolete and discredited, yet has persistently been used to support or validate racist world-views, based upon belief in the existence and significance of racial categories and a hierarchy of superior and inferior races. After the end of World War II, scientific racism in theory and action was formally denounced, especially in UNESCO's early antiracist statement "The Race Question" (1950): "The biological fact of race and the myth of 'race' should be distinguished. For all practical social purposes 'race' is not so much a biological phenomenon as a social myth. The myth of 'race' has created an enormous amount of human and social damage. In recent years, it has taken a heavy toll in human lives, and caused untold suffering." Since that time, developments in human evolutionary genetics and physical anthropology have led to a new consensus among anthropologists that human race is a sociopolitical phenomenon rather than a biological one.

- "Meet Cariol Horne, Black Police Officer Fired After Stopping Fellow Cop's Assault on Handcuffed Man." Democracy Now!, Youtube. [11:03]
Amid nationwide protests over police abuse, we speak with Cariol Horne,
the Buffalo police officer whom a New York court has just vindicated
for stopping a fellow cop from choking a handcuffed Black man during an
arrest. In 2006, Horne, who is Black, saw a white officer repeatedly
punching the man in the face before putting him in a chokehold. After
Horne heard the man say "I can't breathe," she intervened by grabbing
the officer's arm. Horne was sanctioned by the Buffalo Police
Department, reassigned, then fired in 2008, just months before she was
eligible to receive her full pension. A new ruling makes her eligible
for back pay and pension benefits. Horne says she is now calling on
state governments and Congress to follow the lead of Buffalo, which
passed Cariol's Law, legislation that makes it the duty of officers to
intervene in cases of brutality. "I knew that I did the right thing,"
Horne says. We also speak with Intisar Rabb, a Harvard Law professor who
is one of three attorneys representing Horne. Cariol's Law "should
spread far and wide" to other cities and states, Rabb says. Democracy

- "'Kinder, Gentler Cages Are Still Cages': How Prison Abolitionists Are Working Towards a Less Carceral Future." Jessica Moulite, Theroot.com. [3:56]
Last summer’s racial reckoning was the first time many people in the
United States ever heard of concepts like prison abolition and defund
the police. In fact, there was a spike in online searches for the phrase
“prison abolition” in early June 2020, according to Google Trends.And
after President Biden issued four executive orders on Jan. 26, 2021—one
of which specifically designed to end the use of privately operated
prisons—many critics of the measure felt it did not go far enough,
including prison abolitionist, Kim Wilson, Ph.D. March 19, 2021.

- "Police Abolition Isn’t New And Is An Essential Step Towards Equality."
DarkSkyLady, Medium.com. Many people who argue against police
abolition, act like it is something new that the “liberal left” has
created to scare some Democrats into supporting Republicans. They’ve
never read a book about it, and have little understanding about it. All
their arguments against it are weak, yet because of people’s fear they
will easily latch onto these arguments. The arguments range from who
will solve crimes, what about rapists/pedophiles, and it’s just not
possible. They would rather reform the police than defund/abolish them.

Terrell Jermaine Starr, Theroot.com. April 16, 2021. The city of
Chicago released bodycam footage of 13-year-old Adam Toledo’s March 29
shooting in which the officer immediately shoots him after the boy puts
his hands up. The officer, Eric Stillman, shot Adam less than 20 seconds
after the officer got out of his car. Again, the boy had his hands up,
per the cop’s request, and was shot anyway.

on the Ivy League behemoth to secure the rights to the photos, which
languished in a drawer out of sight and away from the public eye for

Berry Hawes, Postandcourier.com. What on earth were these? Nothing in

plantation of Col. Wade Hampton, near Columbia, S.C.” “Jack (driver),
Guinea, plantation of B.F. Taylor, Esq., Columbia, S.C.” “Jem, Gullah,
belonging to F.W. Green, Esq.” One of the researchers rushed downstairs
to summon their colleagues. The discovery sent Reichlin and others on a
quest to solve the disturbing mystery. It continues today, 45 years
later. But Harvard historians weren’t the only ones hunting for clues.

of the daguerreotypes. Based on her own research, she claimed to be a
