Podcast: Voices in Union - Episode 092520

Milwaukee Independent

Voices in Union: with Reggie Jackson and Maria Hamilton - is a weekly podcast that focuses on the African American Diaspora in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. It connects local concerns to national trends on social justice, and educates the general population on the historical context of those issues. The program’s purpose is to build understanding, with a message of hope and reconciliation, and to offer underrepresented voices a platform to be heard. This episode includes a discussion about keeping optimistic about the lack of social justice in the wake of Breonna Taylor's grand jury result that did not produce an inditement over her death, processing feelings around ongoing injustice issues, and how Black votes are important even though politicians continue to ignore Black voters.
