HQR 91.3fm will air the three part NPR series beginning on Sunday, August 23rd, at 2pm. Part III will air on September 6, at 2pm.

Since the killing of George Floyd in an arrest by Minneapolis Police on May 25, the summer has unfolded with an outpouring of grief, anger and calls to action. 

NPR has produced a series of three one-hour radio specials, comprising new reporting as well as our best reporting on racial injustice, the protests that have swept the country, and where the nation is headed. Summer of Racial Reckoning is hosted by NPR’s Ailsa Chang and Rachel Martin.
