Episode Details

In this episode of One to One, host Sheryl McCarthy interviews Vince Warren, executive director of the Center for Constitutional Rights, a nonprofit legal advocacy organization dedicated to using the law as a force for social change. They discuss the 10th anniversary of Eric Garner's death, a 43-year-old African American man who died on a Staten Island sidewalk after being placed in a chokehold by NYPD officer Daniel Pantaleo for selling loose cigarettes. Since Garner’s death, he has become a symbol of systemic police abuse and racial injustice, catalyzing the Black Lives Matter movement. As we mark this anniversary, they explore what the movement has achieved and what still needs to be done.
