SHOW: The Jim Crow Museum
The founder and curator of the New Jim Crow museum, Dr. David Pilgrim, gives short history lessons as he walks viewers through his museum. One of the points that the museum attempts to get across (and does well) is the pervasive nature of the racist laws, caricatures, and violence against Black people across the United States. Well worth 23 minutes of your time. This is an excellent video for a history class or small group discussion.
SHOW: Flint Town
An intimate, engaging eight part series focusing on the Flint Police Department (Michigan) that shows the policing from all sides, the police, the public that supports them, the public that doesn't support them, the politicians that support them and don't support them, and everyone in-between. Flint Town shows the complexity of working for a police department in neighborhoods that are at high stress levels because of poverty, race, and, in Flint's case, water issues. It also shows the differences in officer's approaches to policing based on their ethnicity and where/how they grew up. This series is highly recommended.
SHOW: A Conversation with the Police – Uncomfortable Conversations with a Black Man Ep. 9
Whew! This is an intense 23 minutes. Hats off the Emmanuel Acho and the Petaluma Police Department for talking with each other and role modeling what it takes to make change - sitting down together and asking and answering difficult questions.
SHOW: Policing in America needs to change. Trust me, I’m a cop.
Police officer Renee Mitchell tells a story where she had to choose between appeasing her superior by arresting an individual or letting the individual go and putting her career in jeopardy and how that decision cemented the idea that the way we police in America has to change.
SHOW: A Different Kind of Force – Policing Mental Illness
Conservatively speaking, one in ten police interactions involve a mentally ill person, but rarely are police trained to deal with a person having a mental illness crisis. A Different Kind of Force follows the San Antonino police mental health unit as they respond to mental health situations and strive to employ crisis intervention training despite not receiving enough funding and support.
SHOW: Invisible Minorities
A one-hour lecture on the history of discrimination against Asian people in America and how the model minority myth still exists and is used as a wedge between the Asian and Black communities.
SHOW: What About Abortion?
There are few words more loaded than abortion and for many Christians it is the one issue that sways their vote. Skye Jethani argues that overturning Roe v. Wade wouldn't change the abortion rate, but improving access to healthcare and changing our local and state policies on abortion would be more effective.
SHOW: Why Your Vote Matters
If you listen to the Holy Post or have watched Phil Vischer's videos then there isn't much new, but if you haven't listened to or watched those gems then this short nine minute video goes over Vischer's main talking points about how to consume media and engage with politics as a Christian.
SHOW: How should we vote?
How do we vote as Christians? Rejecting tribalism and voting to advantage our communities is a good start.
