ETAN THOMAS, an eleven-year NBA veteran and lifelong advocate for
social justice, weaves together his personal experiences with police
violence and white supremacy with multiple interviews of family
members of victims of police brutality like exonerated Central Park
Five survivor Raymond Santana and Rodney King's daughter Lora Dene
King; as well as activist athletes and other public figures such as
Steph Curry, Chuck D, Isiah Thomas, Sue Bird, Jake Tapper, Jemele
Hill, Stan Van Gundy, Kyle Korver, Mark Cuban, Rick Strom, and many
more.
Thomas speaks with
retired police officers about their efforts to change policing, and
white allies about their experiences with privilege and their ability
to influence other white people. Thomas also examines the history of
racism, white supremacy, and the prevalence of both in the current
moment. He looks at the origins of white supremacy in the US, dating
back to the country's inception, and explores how it was interwoven
into Christianity--interviewing leading voices both in and outside of
the church. Finally, with prominent voices in the media and
education, Thomas discusses the continued cultivation of these
injustices in American society.
Police Brutality
and White Supremacy demands accountability and justice for those
responsible for and impacted by police violence and terror. It offers
practical solutions to work against the promotion of white supremacy
in law enforcement, Christianity, early education, and across the
public sphere.
