Activists in France draw strength from the Black Lives Matter movement in America

Activists in France draw strength from the Black Lives Matter movement in America.

“My brother was killed. He died in atrocious conditions, alone, without us.” In France, the death of Adama Traore, a young black man, while he was in police custody sets off protests. 

Also, the Maker Movement, which began in California, comes to China; subway cars, made in China, come here to Boston; and an ultra-popular Norwegian TV show, about knitting, comes to Netflix. Plus, the US gets its first offshore wind farm.  Etienne Charles, a Trinidad jazz trumpeter, closes out the show.
