Story 1: Sam Watson Jr. interview (prod. Lilian Rangiah)

As protests continue in the US following the police killing of unarmed black man George Floyd, a solidarity rally will be held in Brisbane this afternoon. The Black Lives Matter protest hopes to show solidarity with the US demonstrators, but also highlight the continued injustices Indigenous Australians suffer at the hands of police. Earlier this week, 4ZZZ reporter Lillian Rangiah spoke to Sam Watson Junior, a proud Wanggeriburra and Birra Gubba person and one of the protest organisers.
