America on Fire: Ep 4: The Vigilantes — When White Fear Becomes State Power

Episode 4 examines how white fear and citizen vigilante actions were deputized into state power after Dr. King’s assassination, escalating surveillance, policing, and punishment of Black communities.

Host Connie Morris uses historical examples, scripture reflections, and probing questions to challenge listeners to recognize and resist fear-driven policies and everyday acts of racialized enforcement.
