Manifest Justice
Two sisters, a teacher and a law student, critically examine the intersections of mental health, law, education, and social justice. Manifest Justice is a Black, femme-led, holistic podcast that encourages you to slow down, listen, and learn about historically silenced subjects, stories, and solutions still relevant today.
Manifest Justice
S1E3. Law and Mental Health Crises
Case brief: Thomas v. Lumpkin (Cited as: 598 U. S. ____ (2022)). How do our American courtrooms support, and discriminate against, people who have mental health crises? How does that treatment change when the person in crisis is Black or Brown? On this episode of Manifest Justice you'll learn about Andre Thomas, a Black man from Texas currently on death row, and the racially discriminatory conditions that lead to his unjust sentence.
