1. Eric Garner

Eric Garner's last words, "I can't breathe" became a rallying cry for a movement. His death, which was caught on camera by his close friend, Ramsey Orta, sparked national outrage.This episode will primarily focus on the aftermath of Eric's death and all those who were affected in its wake.

2. Ezell Ford

This episode will explore both the legal system (how does someone expunge their record/change the law's perception of them once they're in the system?) and the way in which the government, and police specifically, handle individuals with mental health issues. Ezell Ford grew up in a neighborhood where little to no opportunity was afforded to him outside of petty crime and gang activity. When a 25-year-old with schizophrenia and the mental capacity of a ten-year-old is targeted by police, we're left with the question - is proximity to crime a crime in itself?

3. John Crawford

This episode will dissect the concept of implicit bias (with expert Jeff Sherman of UC Davis) and the role it played the night a black man walked into a white town's Walmart and picked up a toy bb gun.
