A protest in Minneapolis in support of the city of Baltimore after the death of Freddie Gray.
The April death of Freddie Gray sparked massive protests in Baltimore and a national conversation about inner-city policing.

Watkins explores how the police, drug crime, and even social media influence the ability of blacks to lift themselves out of poverty.
