Black Americans resettling in Ghana

After Black Lives Matter protests exploded around the world - Ghana's Tourism Minister encouraged African Americans to move to her country, saying you don't have to "stay where you are not wanted." The calls followed a 2019 campaign that encouraged descendants of African diaspora to return to the nation where four centuries earlier their ancestors were forced into slavery. CBS News' Debora Patta meets one African American who was so fed up with the trauma of racism that she moved across the world to make Ghana her home.

Eric Garner's mother discusses Chauvin sentencing

After Derek Chauvin was sentenced to 22.5 years in prison for the murder of George Floyd, some members of Floyd's family say it wasn't enough. Floyd's nephew said the sentence was a slap in the face, while his sister released a statement saying it shows matters of police brutality are being taken seriously, but there's still progress to be made. Gwen Carr, whose son Eric Garner was also killed at the hands of police in New York City in 2014, joined CBSN to Lana Zak to discuss her reaction to Chauvin's conviction and sentence, and to reflect on her son's death.
