Our society still has a long way to go in the fight against institutional racism. It is crucial for us to address this issue in order to create a fair and equal society for all. In this episode of the Everyday Leadership podcast, we explore the experiences of Terence Channer, a lawyer specializing in actions against the police. Terence sheds light on the problematic powers the police hold when it comes to stop and search, and shares stories from his clients who have been directly affected by these issues.
