Just for a moment, imagine your community became another Ferguson. Or Minneapolis. Or Louisville. Or any American community where police killed African Americans under questionable circumstances. How would you react? How would your city react? How would your government react? These are the questions that we will explore in Color Lines: From Phillip to Floyd - A Podcast Exploring the American Tragedy of Race, Police Shootings & the Search for Justice In 1990, the town of Teaneck, New Jersey – a community renowned as a national model of racial unity and peace – became embroiled in a confrontation over race and dignity and fairness after a white police officer shot and killed a Black teenager. In this podcast based on journalist Mike Kelly’s book COLOR LINES investigates Teaneck’s history and what the shooting exposed about the racial dilemma that America faced then and continues to face today.
