The interview is about the comparison from 1960s Civil Rights protests for Social Justice to todays. Specifically Joseph references the height of 1963 protests and involvement to this year's protests and involvement. This year's protests even during pandemic standards have outdone 1963 protests in numbers. The agreeance for Social Justice has also changed drastically. Joseph mentions that white people supporting Social Justice have increased and most protests are nonviolent. White people supporting these Social Justice movements have helped and the awareness for Social Justice reform has grown more popular throughout the United States. Joseph ends with the importance of the United States coming to almost half of the country supporting the Social Justice protests. The video is a progression comparison for Social Justice protests and how the support has brought the movements closer to reform.
