A very special episode responding to Black Lives Matter and the coronavirus
Real-life protests against police brutality have inspired TV shows that were current in 2020 to tell important stories that teach valuable life lessons about not being racist, and some shows were already ahead of the times and wrote stories protesting racial profiling before 2020, when Breonna Taylor and George Floyd were murdered by the police.
