Unpacking The Word Ep. 5: The Corrupt Concept of American Freedom

Barrett and Luna have another somber discussion about the devastating gun violence affecting the country in this week’s episode.

Tennessee is the backdrop for this episode as Barrett and Luna talk about the horrific shooting at Covenant School in Nashville and the baseless dismissal of two Black lawmakers by state conservatives after they protested the violence. They unpack the warped understanding of freedom in America that has allowed for this violence to keep happening.

Since the recording of the podcast, both Rep. Justin J. Pearson of Memphis and Rep. Justin Jones of Nashville have been reinstated to the Tennessee House.

Episode recorded on 4/7/2023. Produced by Hannah Loder.
