Bakari Kitwana on The Ferguson Effect and the Evolution of Black Youth Protests

'Although the term "The Ferguson Effect" has come to be discussed and defined in mainstream media as a rise in crime as a result of the Ferguson protests following the police killing of Mike Brown in August 2014, Bakari Kitwana offers an alternative definition: the boldness of a new generation of Black youth, inspired by the Ferguson protest movement, to stand up against racial oppression at a mass level for the first time in the US since the activist movements of the late 1960s and early the 1970s.'-- TEDxBinghampton
