At this fragile time brought on by a global pandemic, economic crisis, and civic unrest, the resiliency of the American experiment is being tested. In this fifth episode of Intention, host Byron DeLear speaks with actor, artist, and activist Ricco Ross about the revolution taking place after the murder of George Floyd. They discuss who is participating in the protests and how efforts to tackle institutional racism have gone global. “Black Lives Matter” is now mainstream and the murder of George Floyd has become a catalyst for real movement on police reform. Byron breaks down the history of Juneteenth, Jim Crow laws, segregation, and connects those policies with the construction of confederate monuments which are now being pulled down. Can America meet this moment? Will her citizens have the capacity to shoulder the responsibility and embrace the need for change? These are the larger questions asked and answered in “Juneteenth, George Floyd, and the Revolution to Fulfill America’s Potential.”
