How have Marxist organizations become involved in the protests for justice following the killing of George Floyd? Why would defunding the police hurt black Americans? And in the eyes of retired football player Burgess Owens, who grew up in the segregated south, what can we learn from his parents’ generation about overcoming injustice? In this episode, we sit down with NFL star Burgess Owens, a Superbowl XV champion with the Oakland Raiders. He is also an author, an entrepreneur, and a candidate for Utah’s 4th congressional district. This is American Thought Leaders 🇺🇸, and I’m Jan Jekielek. #burgessowens #racism #blacklivesmatter
