1:10:30Now PlayingLowery’s first book is a feat of indefatigable reporting as he synthesizes hundreds of interviews with people in Ferguson, Cleveland, Charleston, and Baltimore. One of The Washington Post’s lead reporters covering the Black Lives Matter movement, Lowery was part of the team awarded the 2016 Pulitzer Prize for National Reporting for the Post’s coverage of police shootings. His detailed account of life in the communities hit hardest by violence draws a deeply disturbing picture. Examining the cumulative effect of both racially biased policing and the ongoing discrimination manifested in segregated neighborhoods suffering high unemployment and underfunded schools, Lowery finds endemic frustration and anger.
Lowery is in conversation with Kevin Merida, a senior vice president at ESPN and editor-in-chief of The Undefeated.
