This month marks the 10th anniversary of the brutal murder of James Byrd Jr., who was dragged to his death in Jasper, Texas by white supremacists. Today, Forum begins a new series — “Race and Our Communities.” We talk with local activists who are using the Byrd case to generate a dialogue on race and racism in Northern California.
Guests:
Jeff Adachi, public defender for the City of San Francisco
Lani Silver, oral historian and political activist
