This episode of KOOP Radio's People United presents coverage of "Prop A in the Context of Race and Policing in Austin, Texas: An Urgent Forum," a panel sponsored by the Department of Religious Studies and the Institute for Historical Studies in the Department of History, both at the University of Texas at Austin, focusing on the controversial city initiative on the Fall 2021 ballot that threatens to balloon the police budget at the expense of other services.  J. Brent Crosson, a Religious Studies professor, moderated the panel, which also featured historians Andrew Busch, Monica Muñoz Martinez and Jason McDonald; organizers Ashleigh Hamilton, Kathy Mitchell and Gabriela Torres; and geographer Eliot Tretter.  They spoke from around the world on October 19, 2021.  (Some panel coverage previously aired on this station on the program Civil Rights and Wrongs on October 26, 2021.  An completely unedited video recording is also available at https://notevenpast.org/ihs-panel-prop-a-in-the-context-of-race-and-policing-in-austin-texas-an-urgent-forum/)
