On this edition of Your Call, we discuss Black Mothers Love & Resist, a documentary about the mothers of young Black men victimized and killed by police brutality, who come together and build a network of community-led support, mutual aid, and healing. Wanda Johnson, the mother of Oscar Grant, now supports mothers like Angela Williams, whose son, Ulysses, survived a police beating in Alabama, living to tell his story. The film will be screened at this year's San Francisco International Film Festival.
