Untold slave stories from the West Indies
Enslaved women in the West Indies; Thais take to the streets; the hunt for a COVID vaccine
We hear some of the untold histories of enslaved women in the West Indies.
Also, thousands take to the streets of the Thai capital, Bangkok, demanding political reforms: The government responds with new powers.
Plus, as people around Europe face various levels of coronavirus lockdown, how is the hunt for a vaccine going?
Joining Julian Worricker to discuss these and other issues are Kehinde Andrews, professor of Black Studies at Birmingham City University, and author of the book "Back to Black: Retelling Black Radicalism for 21st Century"; and Stephanie Baker, a senior investigations writer at Bloomberg.
