Chatbot 'Sandy Speaks' Continues Sandra Bland's Legacy Of Education And Activism

In the year leading up to Sandra Bland's arrest, she uploaded a series of videos to YouTube, recorded on her cell phone, called "Sandy Speaks." In the first of the series, made on Jan. 15, 2015, Bland expressed her wish to educate black youth about how to interact with law enforcement, believing that children were the key to a more peaceful, unprejudiced future. "With the police brutality, all the things that have been going on in the news," Bland says, curlers in her hair, "a lot of people have been making noise and expressing their opinions about how they feel. Somewhere along the way we've forgotten about the kids. I want to get some dialogue started with them ... Why not educate them on interacting with the people who are really important to our survival?"
