Listen now

Description

Yes everyone, we're doing TWO EPISODES this week! In this episode, I'm joined by Dr. Brandon T. Jett (@drbrandonjett1) and we talk about the history of policing in the Southern United States. We talk about where southern police departments have their roots, how departments enforced the Black Codes and Jim Crow, their state-sponsored violence against the Civil Rights movements, and the legacy of those methods of policing on today's protests. This was an AMAZING interview, and I hope you all enjoy it. You can find Dr. Jett's book right here: https://lsupress.org/books/detail/race-crime-and-policing-in-the-jim-crow-south/ And YDKH's theme music is by the musician Smith the Mister called "Beach Buggy."
