A Month of Second Chances
April is Second Chance month for ex-offenders who are reentering society. This awareness month sheds light on the challenges these men and women face while highlighting the resources and advocacy organizations that are available to them. Terence and Jasper are joined by guest William Arnold (known to most as Fry) as he talks about his experience and his work at the Tennessee Reentry Collaborative. Terence and Japser then discuss the historic signing of the Emmit Till Anti-Lynching Bill by President Biden, which is in a sense America’s second chance to get this right. After 100 years and numerous down votes by the House and the Senate, this heinous act is finally characterized as a hate crime. In our last segment, Chancellor Will Perry joins the show to talk about the “what if’s” surrounding Justice Clarence Thomas. Will this be Biden’s second chance to add someone to the SCOTUS? Chancellor Perry helps us unpack the some of the legalese and legal maneuvering in play.
