Ten years ago this week, Baltimore streets were filled with peaceful protests, clashes with police and fiery violence following the death, in police custody, of Sandtown-Winchester resident Freddie Gray. We hear from Dr. s. Rasheem, the director of the documentary “Baltimore Still Rising," which features accounts of the city’s response to the injustice and unrest that followed. It's the first episode of the documentary series, Baltimore Legacy Project. We also hear from Justice Georgie, Wide Angle Youth Media social media intern, about why learning about Baltimore's grass roots legacy is important for future generations.
