In the past, black people have been on their own towards resisting and fighting police brutality on the black body, but in the US we see white people joining in solidarity towards black activists.

Thabiso Kotane speaks to political analyst Metji Makgoba, Decolonising Disciplines editor Siseko Khumalo and Ohio State University student Destiny Brown.
