Hi there,

In this chaotic news cycle it may be tempting to tune out, but we hope you won’t—only an informed and engaged public can defend democracy. In these times of deep political polarization we need news that goes beyond play-by-play headlines, news that goes to the heart of each story by asking people to tell their own stories of abuses of power and injustice in their own words. If our journalism is important to you, please donate today. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much.

Goodman continues speaking to Yeshitela and Lorei.

Goodman plays a tape of speech by Marvin Davies at a press conference for the African-American Coalition in St. Petersburgh. He tells the mayor and police department that they will have to earn the trust of the community again.

Yeshitela and Lorei offer final comments. Lorei mentions that there was no reported piece on the press conference or the coalition’s broad support.

Soundbite:
- Marvin Davies, former aide to three Florida governors and President Carter, and the African-American Coalition
