Highlighting Police Violence Against Women Of Color

Jeanette Williams places a bouquet of roses at a memorial for Sandra Bland near Prairie View A&M University, in Prairie View, Texas in 2015.

Police-misconduct attorney Andrea J. Ritchie joins us to discuss her new book, Invisible No More: Police Violence Against Black Women and Women of Color. Ritchie tells the stories of women who have experienced police brutality or deadly force like Sandra Bland and Rekia Boyd, and shows how they fit into a larger narrative about police violence and mass incarceration.

Jonathan Capehart guest hosted this segment of "The Leonard Lopate Show."
