The Import Export Edition

Activists in France draw strength from the Black Lives Matter movement in America.

鈥淢y brother was killed. He died in atrocious conditions, alone, without us.鈥� In France, the death of Adama Traore, a young black man, while he was in police custody sets off protests.

Also, the Maker Movement, which began in California, comes to China; subway cars, made in China, come here to Boston; and an ultra-popular Norwegian TV show, about knitting, comes to Netflix. Plus, the US gets its first offshore wind farm. Etienne Charles, a Trinidad jazz trumpeter, closes out the show.
