The trial of white Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin is nearing an end. He's charged in the killing of George Floyd, a Black man. Not far from the trial, another Black man, Daunte Wright, was killed last Sunday by another white police officer. Survivors Speak founder and executive director Trische' Duckworth joined WEMU's David Fair to discuss these current events and the goals of this weekend's protest in Ann Arbor.
