Following the murder of George Floyd in Minneapolis, which was caught on widely seen video, there have been protest marches throughout the United States and, indeed, the world.

Two of those involved with these marches are guests on this week’s Think Tank:

  • Redeem Robinson, is Pastor of Ebenezer Church
  • Jamaar Williams, is a public defender

In our final segment, Dawn Penich-Thacker (@DoctorRhetorica) and Mike will discuss the implications of some of the relevant phraseology (“Black Lives Matter” and “defund the police”).

The Think Tank airs on KTAR 92.3 FM on Saturday 3-4 p.m. and Sunday 9-10 p.m.

Podcasts are available after broadcast.
