Protests across the United States have continued a month on after the killing of George Floyd, an unarmed black man, by a white police officer in Minneapolis on May 25^th.

The scope of the protests continue to focus on the need for reform in the face of systemic racism which has led to the killing of un-armed black men by the police across the United States for years with very little accountability. New bills are being introduced to tackle the issue of police brutality but many are questioning whether new legislation can really get to the core of the issue?

On this episode of the The Heat Podcast, we speak with with Ilyasah Shabazz, daughter of the late civil rights activist Malcolm X, about the ongoing protests, police brutality and what her late father would have thought about the state of the country today.
