After massive protests followed the police shooting of a black man in 2016, the city of Charlotte took the unprecedented move of electing a majority-minority leadership. As they go into their second term, the new leadership's attempt at making their community more equitable for its black and brown community is coming up against 150 years of deep segregation and continued police shootings.
