Ellen at home! Stacey Abrams, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar (17x172)

Air date: Jun 11, 2020

Ellen chats with Stacey Abrams who ran a historic campaign for Georgia governor in 2018, and discusses with Ellen how to identify voter suppression, sharing her thoughts on mail-in voting, and insisting that voters will not be silenced. Stacey also discussed the murders of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, and Georgia’s own Ahmaud Arbery. And also, Sports icon and activist Kareem Abdul-Jabbar notes that we are culturally conditioned not to want to talk about race, but now he has hope that much-needed, open conversations can take place as the Black Lives Matter movement continues. The NBA legend also describes how when he was younger, he met Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. during a journalism workshop.
