Evening with Paul Butler with His Book “Chokehold: Policing Black Men”

Chokehold: laws and practices that treat every African American man like a thug. In this explosive new book, Paul Butler, an African American former federal prosecutor shows that the system is working exactly the way it’s supposed to. Black men are always under watch, and police violence is widespread—all with the support of judges and politicians.

Paul Butler teaches at Georgetown University Law School. He provides legal commentary for CNN, MSNBC, and NPR and has been featured on 60 Minutes and profiled in the Washington Post. He was nominated for this year’s NAACP Image Award.
