Episode 23 Published 2 years, 5 months ago

Description

We all grew up hearing about Martin Luther King and what he did for the Civil Rights movement before he was assassinated, but what about Medgar Evers? Why wasn’t his story shared in our history books? I was 3o when I learned about Medgar’s story and his historical role in the civil rights movement. Join us today with guest Kyle Butler as we tell Medgar’s life story and tragic assassination, along with discussions about our justice system, racism in America, and white privilege.
