What Killed Michael Brown? (2020)
Renowned author Shelby Steele has consistently maintained that systemic racism is more of a tactic than a reality, asserting that the widespread oppression faced by African Americans is largely a thing of the past. However, the 2014 shooting of Michael Brown, an unarmed black teenager, by a white officer in Ferguson, Missouri, sent shockwaves across the country. As Steele delves into the events in Ferguson, the nation is further jolted by the tragic death of George Floyd. These incidents and many similar ones challenge Steele’s perspective, raising questions about the validity of his claims.
