George Floyd's casket is loaded into a hearse after being brought out of Fountain of Praise church following a public visitation Monday, June 8, 2020, in Houston. Floyd died May 25 after being restrained by Minneapolis police.

As George Floyd is laid to rest in Texas, tough conversations about systemic racism in America are taking place across the country. But many people are having trouble finding the right way to talk about it. 

CapRadio’s Randol White talks with one of the world’s top experts on issues of structural racism and civil rights about the words and phrases we’re using right now to discuss these issues. He’ll also speak with a long-time Sacramento journalist about the words we use in our stories.
