This episode takes a bit of a different approach. With the national protest response to the Murder of George Floyd and other unjust killings of Black Americans at the hands of the police, there has been an outpouring of support for the black community.
This episode offers a brief context from one perspective of policy and practices that have suppressed communities of color in the Portland Metro area.
Finally, a hopeful interview with Theotis Cason, owner and operator of the butcher shop Cason's Fine Meats, discusses his Portland Roots, how he developed his skills, his commitment to service of his community, and dedication to his family.
