Real Black History: What the Chauvin verdict does and doesn’t change about American policing

During Black History Month and beyond, WHYY presents “Real Black History,” a series looking at the struggle for equality. For much of the Black community, the Derek Chauvin verdict was not a time for celebration, but the start of long-needed accountability for police misconduct. For many, justice is about more than one trial. Some believe the whole system of policing needs examination to determine the conditions that allowed Chauvin to murder Floyd in the first place. This episode of Real Black History explores how the Derek Chauvin verdict has fueled national police reform. A national poll from the Washington Post and ABC News shows a majority of Americans are concerned over the mistreatment of Black people by police and want them held accountable. But what does reform look like? We’ll talk to people who share old and new ideas about what real justice could look like for Black and brown communities and how this moment may open the door to systemic changes in policing. 0:00 - Intro 2:11 - Philadelphia Attorney Michael Coard talks about how video footage and clear evidence of a white cop murdering a Black person have historically not made a difference in a trial or conviction. 3:30 - Civil rights Attorney Timothy Welbeck talks about the horror and trauma of having to watch the Derek Chauvin trial and relive the killing of George Floyd each day. 5:08 - Former Police Commissioner Charles Ramsey expresses how he and others in law enforcement feel about Derek Chauvin's guilty convinction. 6:00 - The history of policing and how it began in the slaveholding South as an early form of organized enforcement, designed to control the movements and behaviors of enslaved Black people. 7:22 - Daunte Wright's murder shows that despite Derek Chauvin's guilty verdict, the police continue to kill Black people. 8:00 - Krystal Strong, an Assistant Professor at the University of Pennsylvania and core organizer with the Black Philly Radical Collective and Black Lives Matter Philly, talks about the emotional and psychological toll of deaths of Daunte Write and Ma'Khia Bryant, and how the joy from Chauvin's guilty verdict was undermined by more deaths. 9:36 - The murder and open casket funeral of Emmet Till in 1955. 10:34 - Villanova Law Professor Terry Ravenell thinks George Floyd's death can be a catalyst of change because white people, in addition to Black and brown people, participated in the Black Lives Matter protests. 12:00 - The killings of Denise McNair, Addie Mae Collins, Cynthia Wesley, and Carole Robertson in 1963 evoked national outrage and pushed Congress to pass the Civil Rights Act of 1964. 13:40 - The benefits and drawbacks of the George Floyd Justice and Policing Act 16:00 - The confusion and misunderstanding of the phrase "defund the police" 17:54 - Michael Coard and Terry Ravenell discuss why overhauling or re-training police departments is not enough, and we need more than reform. 21:27 - Why this moment feels different than others. The Black Lives Matter protests and discourse in the summer of 2020 forced urgent calls for a long-overdue “racial reckoning,” a viral buzz phrase heard over and over again. The question is, what exactly are we reckoning with WHYY will address that question through “Real Black History,” a series looking at the struggle for equality against the forces of systemic racism. 🎧 Listen to more episodes of Real Black History: http://whyy.org/programs/real-black-h...
