Block Description
Police brutality has long been a defining wound in the African American experience, shaping generational mistrust toward law enforcement and leaving lasting scars on families and communities. The trauma extends beyond physical harm, manifesting in fear, grief, and systemic barriers to safety and justice. Yet, communities continue to respond with resilience—building grassroots organizations, advocating for transparency and accountability, and creating safe spaces for dialogue and healing. Solutions often emerge from within, including community-led policing alternatives, mental health support, and collective education on rights and resources, all working toward safeguarding dignity and protecting future generations.
Dir. Muhammad Bilal / 50:00 minutes
