The murder of George Floyd on May 25th has led to waves of protests across America and around the world for racial justice. Dana, Jamil, Les and first-time guest Harry Wingo discuss the protests and how racism and discrimination have impacted the national security community. What is the role of national security leaders in the fight for justice? How have foreign governments been using this opportunity to push their agendas? Can America seize this opportunity to make real changes that can set an example for the rest of the world? All these questions and more answered in this week’s Fault Lines.
