Season 1: Episode 2 - Race and Restorative Justice
In this second episode, Laura and Klee talk about the intersection between the racial justice movement, and the restorative justice movement. Their guest is Nina Tucker, an educator and activist based in New Paltz, New York.
Social justice movements like the civil rights movement were grounded in truth telling, non-violence, and engaging the enemy with compassion. Those principals are core to the restorative justice movement as well. Without an understanding of racial justice, one cannot fully understand restorative justice. Join us as we uncover the relationship and intersectionality between the two.
