EPISODE 8 - What Does Abolition Look Like?
What Does Abolition look like?
On episode 8 of We Form The Future, we hear from faculty in Prescott College's Social Justice and Community Organizing program about justice, police and abolitionist movements.
Derek Chauvin v. the State of Minnesota was an unexpected response to former Minneapolis Police Department Officer Derek Chauvin's killing of George Floyd. Chauvin is the first white officer in Minnesota to be charged with the death of a Black man in Minnesota. Despite the unprecedented trial, the question and pursuit of abolition remain. Across Minneapolis and across all of our communities, people are trying to imagine a just response to the killing of George Floyd. The question of what abolition looks like in this moment is the theme of the discussion. Moderated by Cirien Saadeh, panelists include Craig Gilmore, Rachel Herzing, and Kim Wilson - all faculty in Prescott College's Social Justice and Community Organizing program.Prescott College is a liberal arts college offering Bachelor's, Master's and Ph.D. programs in areas like Environmental Studies, Education, Counseling and Mental Health, Art, Social Justice, Sustainability, Critical Psychology and more.
