Baltimore Youth: "We Are Not Thugs"

In the aftermath of Freddie Gray's death, thousands of young people in Baltimore demonstrated against police brutality in a number of ways, including street protests, cultural programming, and fighting with police. Marc Steiner Show producers Stefanie Mavronis and Mark Gunnery covered a few of the events, including a student protest on April 30 and the induction of fifteen youth into the Tosh Roots Reggae Youth Cohort, part of the Youth Resiliency Institute’s Baltimore Guitarists Against Violence Program, on May 2, 2015. They spoke to youth activists and organizers, as well as adults who work with youth.
