This week the sitcom “Blackish” took on the issue of race, police and hope. I am not much of a TV person, but this series has captured me.
The star of the show, Anthony Anderson, can be seen on the above YouTube clip talking to Tracee Ellis Ross, his wife on the series. “Blackish” can be seen Wednesday evenings on ABC.
For more, see today’s article in the New York Times. And this story and added clips from ABC.com.
I served over 20 years as the chief of police in Madison (WI), four years as chief of the Burnsville (MN) Police Department, and before that as a police officer in Edina (MN) and the City of Minneapolis. I hold graduate degrees from the University of Minnesota and Edgewood College in Madison. I have written many articles over my years as a police leader. After retiring from the police department, I answered a call to ministry, attended seminary, and was ordained as a priest in the Episcopal Church. After 25 years leading two Episcopal Churches in Portage and North Lake, Wisconsin, I now serve as Associate Pastor in a growing, dynamic, and Spirit-filled Lutheran congregation in nearby Mazomanie.
