The Case for Black Lives Matter: Hawk Newsome

"All lives will matter when Black lives matter," says our guest, Hawk Newsome, in this passionate, challenging, and fascinating podcast episode.
The co-founder and Chair of Black Lives Matter Greater New York answers the skeptics and makes the case for a movement that has grown in scale and significance since widespread protests erupted last summer after the killing of George Floyd while in police custody in Minneapolis.
A devout Christian who has spent much of his life campaigning for racial and social justice, Hawk Newsome, discusses his views on love vs. violence, systemic racism, and how he reached out to Trump supporters during a tense rally in Washington in 2017.
The conversation transcends the simple designations of left and right and seeks to find meaningful solutions that respond to the realities faced by people and communities.
In our podcast, we mentioned this story about what Hawk does during weekends.
