(BNC News, Jan. 10, 2022) The murder of George Floyd has exposed the need for a global conversation about racial injustices.

In the national scope it ignited many to be much more intentional in the fight against these inequalities.

That’s the case with former ACLU Deputy Legal Director Jeffery Robinson, who wrote the documentary Who We Are: A Chronicle of Racism in America.

Combining Robinson’s personal story, archival footage, and interviews, the film invites us to take a critical look at America’s slavery past and be involved in building a more just future for Black Americans.

Robinson joins Marc Lamont Hill on “Black News Tonight” to discuss the film project. All this and more on BNC.
