A legacy rooted in thoughtful commitment to equal justice, under the law. We discuss Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg. Her Brooklyn roots, as well as her circuitous and creative approach to equal justice.

Episode 7 was filmed on 8/10/2020

 

Rosa Parks was a quiet, unassuming woman who would commit her life to activism, and eventually change the course of American history. In this episode, Billy leads the discussion around Ms. Parks' life, her legacy, and the lessons we can learn, as we navigate difficult waters, today.

 

Jesse and Billy discuss the unfortunate "shrink wrapping" of Rosa Parks' life. They discuss strategy with activist, author Bill Fletcher Jr. Bill offers powerful insights on tactics for winning, plus the meaning and value of "intersectionality". The hosts discuss the importance of narratives, and critique the unfortunate ethnic divisions that have become resurgent, recently. 

Rosa Parks reminds us to remain vigilant. Do the work. Take the risk.
