Toussaint Morrison is a New Orleans-born, Minneapolis-raised artist. He released an album earlier this year called The Very Best of Ricky and Jane. Ricky and Jane are his parents.

Morrison talks with KEXP’s Emily Fox about the activism his parents were involved in, and how decades later, he quit his job at a PBS station when he became involved in the protests following the killing of George Floyd. He also shares how the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis and the death of Daunte Wright in a north Minneapolis suburb are reflected in this latest album.
