Race in America

More than a month after the death of George Floyd in police custody, rallies and protests have continued across the country. The crowds are made up of thousands of individuals, each with their own reasons for being there. Here are just a few of them, in their own words.

Having an open and honest conversation about race is difficult, and if you are feeling uncomfortable that is okay. We want to help with that conversation, and maybe help you start one on your own.

Watch a replay of our live broadcast of Race in America: The Conversation that first aired on Thursday, June 18.

So, is the police department inherently racist? Should it be dismantled? Defunded? Is there a place for reconciliation and reform? Jessica Aguirre spoke about all this with San Jose Police Chief, Eddie Garcia.

Watch tonight at 6:30 p.m. on NBC Bay Area, channel 11, cable 3.

Uncomfortable conversations are often the most meaningful conversations. The Bay Area is listening, but are we hearing each other? We’re having that conversation.
