WATCH: Unheard LA's Special Series On Race In LA Continues
As the nation reckons with systemic racism, our community-centered storytelling show Unheard LA is taking a deeper listen.
We laughed, cried, and had all kinds of real talk in part 1 and part 2. Check out tonight's live event, the third installment of this special series. Bruce Lemon Jr. hosted our virtual event featuring the stories of Matthew Cuban Hernandez, Taz Ahmed, and October B.L.U. followed by a live conversation — all in collaboration with our Race In LA initiative. Dana Amihere, co-editor and developer of Race In LA, joined us for the live conversation. RSVP here.
Watch the repeat above.
