Join us in a conversation with special guest Leroy Clemons in dialogue with Sedric McClure about this timely topic along with other critical issues of our time.
• How did we face the KKK, and how do we face blatantly racist citizens with no masks today?
• What were the daily acts of courage/resistance by local leaders in MS to resist and protect community, and how are we doing this today?
• White terrorism isn’t often taught in schools or even in our communities. How does understanding history empower us?
• How do grassroots organizing and political education help us get courage to speak truth to power and engage with fascist government forces and other supremacist groups/citizens?
