Morgan Professor Appears on PBS Newshour Weekend

HARI SREENIVASAN, PBS NEWSHOUR WEEKEND ANCHOR: Of course, all week long, we’ve seen many young people from Sandtown-Winchester, other inner city Baltimore communities, along with many other concerned citizens, protesting the death of Freddie Gray at the hands of police.

For a look at relations with the police, we are joined now by Natasha Pratt-Harris, a PhD, and associate professor of criminal justice and sociology at Morgan State University in Baltimore.

So, Professor, I want to play you a clip we came across this week. It’s of a young man talking about how he believes police treat men of color as suspects.
