Charlotte, Tulsa and living while black in America

Hosted by Warren Olney Sep. 22, 2016 National
Police killings of black people in two more American cities have raised the total of such incidents to more than 200 in this year alone.  It now goes almost without saying that black Americans don't believe official explanations, and the Congressional black caucus is demanding Justice Department action. We hear about recent developments deeply rooted in American history.
