The murder of George Floyd has triggered mass anti-racism protests across the US. It has also energized a global Black Lives Matter movement that is not only marching in solidarity with protesters in America, but shedding light on local issues pertaining to race and systemic injustice.

In this episode, Liam and Scott are joined by Dr. Michell Chresfield, Lecturer in United States History at the University of Birmingham to talk about the events in the US and the way they are inspiring protests in the United Kingdom.
