Confronting Injustice

Linda Solomon and co-host Khari Wilcox tackle a loaded topic for communities across the country: fear and disconnect in the crossover generations are experiencing in today's culture and sociopolitical climate. Devonne Wilcox joins as a special guest offering context from a high schooler's perspective on proper guidance and the void that results from leadership absent in our communities. Social media as a newfangled element to our systems of morals and values offers mixed messages and unclear leadership, wrapped in crisis language both adults and youth find harder to navigate as policies look the other way when it comes to the concerns of the people. Intergenerational communication is key if we are intent on fostering hope. Actions have consequences and today's lack of accountability fails to establish a foundation for tomorrow's leaders. Meanwhile, the school to prison pipeline grows as vocational pathways are placed at risk by education budget cuts impacting students of all ages across America. Confronting Injustice explores solutions to the challenges faced while navigating our crumbling systems.
