Mr. Fletcher talks to Baltimore activists about the ongoing Freddie Gray trial and what it means for the city, as well as the nation at-large. Fletcher also looks at these issues with Makayla Gilliam­Price, activist at student at Baltimore City College, Kwame Rose, Baltimore based activist, and Dr. Lawrence Brown, Professor of Health Policy at Morgan State University in Baltimore.

Note: A mistrial was declared Wednesday, Dec 16, 2015, in the trial of Baltimore Police Officer William G. Porter, after jurors told a judge they could not reach a verdict on any of four charges. Porter, 26, was charged with involuntary manslaughter, second-degree assault, reckless endangerment and misconduct in office in Gray’s death. The Fletcher program was recorded prior to the case going to the jury.
