Session Submission Type: Virtual Created Panel

Session Description

The murders of Ahmaud Arbery, Breonna Taylor, and George Floyd during the global pandemic brought the lived experiences of state-based violence against Black Americans to the world's attention causing international protest. Despite the real threat of the Coronavirus, the world took to the streets to demand that Black Lives Matter. The response to the murders resulted from media framing and the centrality of race in American politics, which we see in the disparities in the death rates of Black people during the pandemic. This panel discusses the media, attitudes towards the police, and the impact state-based violence has on political participation.
