À propos de ce contenu audio

 On this special Martin Luther King Jr. Day episode, host Greg Bluestein is joined by Tia Mitchell and Patricia Murphy for a look back at one of the most consequential civil rights battles in Georgia politics. Producer Natalie Mendenhall tells the story of Julian Bond, who was elected to the Georgia House in 1965 but blocked from taking office by fellow lawmakers, sparking protests, national outrage, and a landmark Supreme Court ruling. The episode also features Natalie’s interview with Michael Julian Bond, who reflects on his father’s legacy, the personal toll of that fight, and why Julian Bond’s stand for free speech and democratic representation still resonates as Georgia lawmakers return to the Capitol today.
