This Week on American Black Journal: 

BridgeDetroit joins us for a special episode on the increase in gun violence in Detroit and major cities across the country.

Stephen has a candid conversation with Detroit Police Chief James White about the possible reasons for the spike in shootings, the impact of the pandemic on human behavior, and how the police department and the community can work together to reduce the violence.

Plus, BridgeDetroit reporter Bryce Huffman and American Black Journal producer AJ Walker are in the community to talk with residents who have lost loved ones to gun violence, and to get their thoughts on how to address the root cause of the issue.
