We take you now to the streets of Washington DC after dark, when Black Lives Matter Plaza comes alive in the midst of Trump's Republican National Convention speech at the White House and buzzes with action the nights after the Commitment March. This episode features interviews with protesters who have been active in DC from the beginning of the protests, at this point, for a consistent 90 days. They describe firsthand accounts with the police, some speak to their experience being kettled in a crowd others to the conditions after being arrested for marching.
We record from a scene where smoke bombs were thrown at the crowd at 3:00 in the morning. Other interviews are held in the late evenings with people who have traveled in from out of town who give perspectives and comparisons to their home cities.
