Origami Elephants - August 22, 2014
#Ferguson
Bryne and JR. welcome two pastors - Josh Butler and Eric Knox - to discuss the mess that is Ferguson, Missouri in the wake of the shooting of Michael Brown. We examine how the media shapes the story, how the militarization of police feeds the conflict, and the extent to which race and privilege shape and are shaped by the events in Ferguson.
From Series: "Origami Elephants Season 1"
Origami Elephants celebrates the tension between beauty and certainty. Hosts Bryne Lewis and JR. Forasteros tackle the elephants in the room - the topics we either avoid or fight about. Bryne, JR. and their guests choose instead to investigate the elephants, to let them draw us together rather than divide.
