In this episode, Cody talks with three prominent black voices in the Alaska community to understand the conversations and the perspectives of Alaskans in the wake of the killing of George Floyd. Floyd’s death has sparked worldwide protests and rallies against police brutality and systemic racism in the United States. Alaska has seen a number of these rallies, including in Anchorage, Fairbanks, Palmer, Utqiagvik, Unalakleet, Sitka and Kotzebue.
Cody talks with rapper and community activist Michael Cofey, journalist Zakiya McCummings, and high school teacher Mike Thompson. Each conversation comes with its own unique perspective, but there is a common theme prevalent in every one of them—it is of deep-rooted, generational trauma and how it affects everyday life.
