Counter Stories — a regular conversation about race, identity, social justice and culture — is returning after a few months away.

The members of Counter Stories — Hlee Lee, Anthony Galloway, Don Eubanks and Luz Maria Frias — discuss important topics in the news, but also branch out to talk about how culture is portrayed on TV, in the media and more.

In today's conversation, the group discusses the police shooting of 24-year-old Jamar Clark in north Minneapolis — and the nearly three weeks of protest that followed.

The show, which began as a podcast last summer, now has a home on MPR's airwaves: Conversations will air during MPR News with Tom Weber. You can check out previous episodes at the Counter Stories page.
