A Hunger Strike in Antioch — And What it Says About the Changing Suburbs
Published 5 years, 3 months ago
Description
Suburbs are some of the most diverse spaces in America. It's one reason why — more and more — they’ve become the backdrop of tensions between police and communities of color.
That friction is at the center of a protest over policing in Antioch, where activists went on a hunger strike for five days and are camped out in front of the local police department.
Guest: Sandhya Dirks, race and equity reporter for KQED
