Indigenous Injustice
<p>California joined the Union as a so-called free state in 1850. So how did white settlers get away with enslaving Native children until they were young adults? We explore a little-known California state law called the Act for the Government and Protection of Indians that unleashed genocidal violence against Indigenous children. And we connect the dots between that terrible past and a landmark upcoming U.S. Supreme Court case Brackeen v. Haaland.</p> <p><a href= "http://goldchainsca.org/podcast/episodes/ep03-indigenous-injustice.html"> Episode Website</a></p>

Black Testimony Matters
A white man shoots and kills a prominent Black businessman in San Francisco in an unprovoked attack. There are plenty of witnesses. But there's a problem. They're all Black. And in California in 1861, that means their testimony doesn’t count. From 1850 until 1863, California had a law that banned African Americans from testifying against white people in criminal cases. In this episode, we bring you the little-known story of the testimony laws. We meet the Black activists who fought to repeal them. And we examine these racist laws’ enduring legacy in our legal system today. <p><a href= "https://www.aclunc.org/sites/goldchains/podcast/episodes/ep02-black-testimony-matters.html"> Episode Website </a></p>
