Wednesday on this program, we aired an audio documentary about a group of Minneapolis police officers and community members, who recently took a trip to Montgomery, Alabama to tour museums and historical sites.

MPR News host Angela Davis was invited to go along with them and record their discussions about what they saw and learned.

This hour, Angela and her guests continue the conversation about the Minneapolis Police Department and an ambitious effort led by the Police and Black Men Project.
