The death of George Floyd has provoked a global response and galvanised opinion. We bring together African Americans to discuss race and share experiences of racism in the US. We hear from people who have sought justice from police aggression, from those attempting reconciliation and from police officers themselves. What changes do they want to see to move America in the right direction?

We hear from Gwen Carr, the mother of Eric Garner, who died in 2014 under similar circumstances to George Floyd, and whose dying words 鈥淚 can鈥檛 breathe鈥� became a rallying cry for protests against police brutality. We also speak to Curtis Hayes Jr, whose passionate exchange with two other black men was viewed millions of times this week, and to Tonya Trumbo, the woman who hugged a police officer at a protest in Louisville, Kentucky. And lastly to Joe Gamaldi, a police officer in Houston, Texas, and Samuel 鈥� not his last name 鈥� an African American officer in Kansas City, Missouri.
