This Is Why We Are Speaking Out

This first podcast deals with some of the primary and most evasive topics brought up in student interviews about the reasons for and experiences within the BLM movement on Emory's Campus. The themes are relatively organized with this progression: Structural Oppression and Racism on Campus, Feelings about these experiences and in the protests, White Apathy, Belittling of the Movement by the broader community, Demands for Visibility, Potential Changes, and Emotional Exhaust.
