Today on Lake Effect, we explore the cultural and traumatic impact of viral videos that show police officers killing Black Americans. Then, as a victim of gun violence and a perpetrator, local organizer Ramiah Whiteside talks about how it's impacted his life. We visit the gravesite of Milwaukee’s only known Black lynching victim and see how the effort to memorialize him came to fruition. Plus, look at what life was like for Cuban refugees at Fort McCoy.
Guests:
- Reggie Jackson, co-owner and lead trainer and consultant for Nurturing Diversity Partners
- Ramiah Whiteside, community organizer and coordinator for EXPO-Milwaukee
- George Marshall Clark feature
- Ricardo Gonzalez, president of the Madison-Camaguey Cuba Sister City
