Through hands-on experiences as on-the-street interviewers and on-the-farm harvesters, the teenagers explored systemic oppression and solutions for communities. The young people addressed various issues, including inequality, racism, food justice, gentrification, the school-to-prison-pipeline and youth power. This is a repeat of an Aug. 8, 2014 broadcast.
