CBH Talk | Say His Name, Arthur Miller: A Death by Police Chokehold 45 Years Ago

On June 14, 1978, Arthur Miller, a Black Crown Heights businessman, was killed by police chokehold. Miller was a respected and much-loved community leader. The calls for justice following his death echo today, 45 years later, a somber forerunner to the Movement for Black Lives.
Join us for a commemorative discussion with those who remember along with leading experts. Pastor and civil rights activist Reverend Herbert Daughtry, who led protests after Miller’s death is joined by Paul Butler, author of Chokehold: Policing Black Men, MSNBC contributor, and leading expert on racially motivated police brutality, Elizabeth Hinton, national authority on criminalization and racist policing and author of America on Fire: The Untold History of Police Violence and Black Rebellion Since the 1960s, and Hasan Kwame Jeffries, leading scholar of the Civil Rights and Black Power Movements. NY1’s Errol Louis leads the discussion which remembers Miller’s life and legacy, retells the tragic history, and turns to the widespread racist policing that continues to plague us today.

The reality of Black existence should require the community to launch programs to protect our young such as the coaches and parents must be available to protect our children
