We get reaction to the conviction of ex-police officer Derek Chauvin and discuss what it means for the Black community and if it signals a change in police accountability.

After two days of jury deliberation, a 14-day trial, and a year of protesting American policing, former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin was found guilty on all counts for the murder of George Floyd. This hour, we discuss what the verdict means for the Black community, and if the decision could signal change in policing and racial disparities in the criminal justice system. Despite the feelings of relief, more recent police killings have sustained the anger at how law enforcement is conducted in America, specifically when it comes to Black people.. Despite the relative feelings of relief, more recent police killings have sustained the anger at how law enforcement is conducted in America, specifically when it comes to Black people. Guest host Kevin McCorry is joined by ELDER MELANIE DUBOUSE, pastor of Evangel Chapel and co-director of POWER – Live Free, DERVEN WASHINGTON, a political activist in Philadelphia, and IMANI PERRY, professor of African American studies at Princeton University. We’ll also talk with LAYLA JONES, reporter for WHYY’s Billy Penn, about how to talk to kids about the Chauvin trial and verdict.
