Episode 10
Civil Rights and Protest in Media
It's a historic time in the US as citizens across the country have risen up in protest against systemic racism and inequality. The Good Pop crew takes a moment to reflect on our own experiences with media depictions of racism and civil rights. How these experiences have shaped us, and how this current moment can shape the stories to come.

Mentioned in this episode:
Listen to Inheriting from LAist & NPR
"Inheriting" is a show about Asian American and Pacific Islander families, which explores how one event in history can ripple through generations. In doing so, the show seeks to break apart the AAPI monolith and tell a fuller story of these communities. In each episode, NPR’s Emily Kwong sits down with one family and facilitates deeply emotional conversations between their loved ones, exploring how their most personal, private moments are an integral part of history. Through these stories, we show how the past is personal and how to live with the legacies we’re constantly inheriting. New episodes premiere every Thursday.
