Phil Allen Jr. on The Prophetic Lens

Leonard Lopate at Large on WBAI Radio in New York

(9-9-2022) Martin Luther King used news cameras as a means of exposing anti-Black violence by white mobs in the 1950s and 60s. Darnella Frazier used her phone to record and post the murder of George Floyd by Derek Chauvin in May 2020. These are just two of many people who have captured images of injustice for the world to see. The Prophetic Lens takes an important look at the use of the video camera as an indispensable prophetic tool for the security of Black lives and greater possibility for racial justice. Join us when Phil Allen Jr. founder of the non-profit organization Racial Solidarity Project based in Los Angeles, CA. shares his passion for dialogue, resistance, and solutions to the problem of systemic racism which was fostered by his family and personal life experiences as well as his educational journey, on this installment of Leonard Lopate at Large.
