Perspectives from two African-American men in The Deep South--one who recalls watching on, as a five-year-old, as his mother was attacked by a cop, and another, the son of a cop, who remembers when rioting and gang warfare required his father to step daily into the line of fire.

Khiari Benson of Round Rock, TX and Antonio McKinney of Shreveport, LA talk about the Black Lives Matter movement from two very different perspectives.
