Tyre Nichols was murdered on 7 January 2023. The video being released some two weeks later on sites across the world. That this incident happened at all in the wake of Breonna Taylor, George Floyd and other murders of persons of colour in the US and in the UK, says a lot about the continued struggle against prejudice and racism that we all endure.
This talk builds on the narratives from the book designed and presented by Colin Largo and Divine Chaura and explores some more of the psychology behind issues of racism and in particular how systemic racism plays a massive role in the oppression and the hatred meted out against the racialised other.
