On July 12, 2013, the Washington Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights and Urban Affairs released the report Racial Disparities in Arrests in the District of Columbia, 2009-2011. On July 31, 2013 a coalition of activists held a press conference and teach-in, drawing the connections between the fight for justice for Trayvon Martin and the need for a movement to address racial profiling in the District of Columbia. Netfa Freeman, reporting for WPFW’s Voices with Vision put together the following audio remix of the day’s events. Enjoy or get angry, but get involved.
