What race and social issues do teenagers see and experience?

Our 8th grade hosts, Tami and David, take the lead in their first episode. They interview classmates Sophie and Sana, and the four 8th graders take on an enormous topic for their first offering-- social and racial justice, discrimination, Black Lives Matter, and related activism. Offered here is a real, emotionally-charged conversation about social issues in 2020 America (and beyond).
