On Wednesday, players for the Milwaukee Bucks declined to take the
court for game 5 of their playoff series with the Orlando Magic, to
protest the police shooting of Jacob Blake in Wisconsin. The Bucks'
action started a ripple effect, where all of Wednesday's games were
canceled and more of the league's players, like LeBron James and
others, spoke out against police brutality. Wednesday also marked
four years since former NFL player Colin Kaepernick first took a
knee in protest against racial inequality and police brutality.
We'll discuss the latest news and what impact the NBA player strike
could have on the greater movement to end racism in the U.S.
