Is Violence a Function of our Culture?
Season 1 Episode 46 | 57m 50s
Ta-Nehisi Coates, Jeffrey Goldberg, Moderator, Mitch Landrieu
Homicide remains an endemic, seemingly unsolvable problem in America. And violent crime afflicts African-American communities to a much greater degree than it does others, as does mass incarceration — and as does police violence. What is the cause of this crisis? What role does racism play? What is the role of culture? Are there any solutions to be had?
