Milwaukee Independent

Voices in Union: with Reggie Jackson and Maria Hamilton - is a weekly podcast that focuses on the African American Diaspora in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. It connects local concerns to national trends on social justice, and educates the general population on the historical context of those issues. The program’s purpose is to build understanding, with a message of hope and reconciliation, and to offer underrepresented voices a platform to be heard. This episode includes a discussion about the tragically historic events surrounding the Trump incited insurrection against Congress, and how police responded with complicity to the violent White Supremacists in contrast to their brutality against peaceful Black Lives Matter protestors - like the recent overreaction in Kenosha with the Wisconsin National Guard being deployed.
