To examine the setting in which the movement to defund the police in Norman rose out of, we explore Norman’s history with race relations since the state’s inception. The city is a former sundown town and had prominent ties to the Ku Klux Klan. It now faces a federal lawsuit over the 2018 death of Marconia Kessee, a Black man experiencing homelessness and mental illness. Guests: Dr. George Henderson, Chris Hammons, Alison Petrone.
