Season 7 Episode 4
In 2023, nearly 12,300 Black Americans were victims of homicide, accounting for more than half of all U.S. homicide deaths while making up just 13.7% of the population. This ad hoc episode was prompted by the murder of Charlie Kirk and by some challenging questions from someone I respect about why the deaths of thousands of African Americans are not called out with the same urgency. In this episode, "Facing the Numbers, Asking the Hard Questions," I examine the numbers, explore why some lives spark national outrage while others pass quietly, and highlight proven solutions that communities are using to reduce violence. Silence is not an option.
