Demonstrators across the country and world continue marching for racial justice. Today on the news, we hear how Western communities are being touched by this national moment. First, our partners at UPR ask: can elementary school students fight racism? Then, Denver’s city council recently declared racism a public health crisis. And finally, an audio postcard featuring people of color attending and leading marches in Wyoming. Tune in.
