At today’s Black Lives Matter Conference events at Harvard Law School, Naomi Murakawa gave an amazing keynote based on her new book, ‘”The First Civil Right: How Liberals Built Prison America,” which, based on her lecture, we highly recommend.

In an interview with Sharmini Peries from The Real News, Dr. Murakawa, discusses whether the new federal racial profiling guidelines are likely to have a salubrious impact on the problem in local police departments.

Here’s that interview.  (Note: the third video the interview playlist is about the thesis of her book.)
