BBC World Service - BBC OS Conversations, Black America speaks

Listening to conversations on black-owned radio after the killing of George Floyd

We listen in to four black-owned radio stations in the United States to find out how they're covering the killing of George Floyd and the waves of protest since. From Philadelphia, Houston, Los Angeles and Chicago, we hear discussions on preparing young people for encounters with police, on access to finance and housing and on black identity and activism.

We also bring the hosts together, in conversation with Chloe Tilley, to find out what it means to be behind the mic on a black-owned station. How is it different to working elsewhere in the US media?
