Abstract

This episode of "Like It Is", aired in 1980, features Lt. Col. Tyree Broomfield discussing the federal Minority Advisory Council on Criminal Justice, established to study systemic issues affecting minorities in the justice system. He highlights that minorities, especially Blacks, are disproportionately arrested, prosecuted, and sentenced due to pervasive systemic racism. Broomfield emphasizes that racism exists throughout the justice system, including among minority officers, and advocates for reforms such as better training for judges and police, community education, and coalition-building among minorities. He also stresses the importance of Black empowerment through education and political confidence, noting that with increased unity and self-assertion, minorities can better influence the system and challenge systemic discrimination.
