Here's what I cover with Brian Smith in this episode: 1. Uncovering the Unsung Heroes of the Civil Rights Movement: Discover the civil rights activists who were instrumental in the movement but often overlooked due to the "stars" of the movement. 2. The Power of Formation: Explore how childhood experiences and upbringing shape individual paths and impact the civil rights movement. 3. Planning Ahead: Consider the importance of preparing for a movement before launching a march, in order to achieve set goals and create lasting change.
