The state legislature has passed a bill requiring most police agencies to collect and report racial profiling data — we speak with with Reverend Ben McBride of PICO about what it means, and what’s next. Plus: Baltimore author D. Watkins on what it’s like living in two worlds as a black man in America.
Guests:
- Reverend Ben McBride, Director of Regional Clergy Development for PICO California
- D. Watkins, a Baltimore-based writer and teacher, just out with his first collection of essays, which is entitled The Beast Side: Living (and Dying) While Black in America. (He’s speaking at a KPFA Event on September 22.)
