Editor's note: This story includes a racial slur.I'm often asked about my favorite stories I've covered as a reporter. That's a hard question to answer after spending 35 years working in journalism, most of them as a local television reporter.Rarely does anyone ask about my hardest moments. That question brings to mind a very vivid memory. In December 2015, I stood in the middle of Plymouth Avenue in north Minneapolis facing the Minneapolis Police Department's 4th Precinct building, watching angry officers and defiant community members clash.Days earlier, police had shot and killed Jamar Clark, a 24-year-old Black man, during a confrontation. Community members wanted answers. Protesters blockaded the entrance to the 4th Precinct and the street outside.In front of me stood armed officers in riot helmets telling the crowd to disperse, and protesters screaming back and holding their ground. I saw the handcuffs come out and arrests happen. Police pulled down a “Black Lives Matter” banner from the building as they cleared out a spreading encampment. I could feel the distrust and rage between the mostly Black residents and mostly white officers.The shooting and its aftermath pushed Minnesota to the center of a painful national debate over police, people of color and deadly force. Months later, the Twin Cities would be torn again by another police shooting of a Black man, Philando Castile. In 2020 came George Floyd, killed by a Minneapolis police officer as he lay handcuffed and face down in the street, pleading that he couldn't breathe.‘You want me to go where? With who?'Nine years after witnessing the battle for the 4th Precinct, I got a message from a manager at MPR News, where I host a morning talk show. The bosses wanted me to travel to Montgomery, Ala., a city at the center of the slave trade and the Civil Rights Movement, with a contingent that included 4th Precinct officers. Reading the message, remembering what I witnessed in 2015 and the department's history of dysfunction and accusations of violence, I thought, “You want me to go where? With who? Why?” Turns out there was a good reason for the ask. Emerging from the killings of Clark and Castile, a small group, the Police and Black Men Project, had formed to talk about the roots of their distrust. They included Minneapolis police officers, Black and white, along with Black community members, leaders of nonprofits, government agencies and private businesses. Some were once incarcerated. All have strong opinions about law enforcement. Group members have met regularly the past eight years.They went to Montgomery in 2023 to tour museums and historical sites. They wanted to do something bigger in 2024, to go back to Alabama with a larger group and wider audience. They called MPR News.Nine years after Jamar Clark's killing, I was called again to witness police and Black men but in a very different way.We were invited to go along in December and record the group's private discussions as they processed what they had seen and heard at each of the tour stops. Our team included editor and producer Stephen Smith and freelance photographer Desmon Williams, who goes by “Dolo.”In their conversations, this group explored a significant part of American history, one many people still struggle to discuss and understand or even acknowledge.400 years of racial terror: Inside The Legacy MuseumWe arrived in Montgomery on a Tuesday afternoon after flying from Minneapolis to Atlanta and then renting SUVs for the two-hour drive. The weather was terrible. Torrential rain and dangerous driving conditions. I wondered if it was some sort of sign of what's to come. We gathered with the group — all men — for dinner, the first of many meals these men would share. I discovered some of them have known each other for years and others are still getting to know each other.  The next morning, the officers and community members filed out of a hotel in downtown Montgomery, all dressed the same — hooded sweatshirts with artwork on the back and the words “Black Men and Police Project” and “Peace” and “Alabama 2024.” On the back, there's an image of a handshake between a black and a white hand with the downtown Minneapolis skyline in the background.The design was created by teenagers in a life-skills mentoring program run by group member Jamil Jackson. It's called Change Equals Opportunity. Jackson is also head basketball coach at Minneapolis Camden High School and one of the founders of Freedom Fighters, which focuses on public safety.Throughout the next few days these sweatshirts would turn heads. Passersby would ask them questions about the Police and Black Men Project as the group walked down the street and waited in lines at restaurants and museums.On this day, our first stop is The Legacy Museum. This is a place to learn about 400 years of American history involving slavery, racial terrorism, legalized segregation and mass incarceration in a way that pulls you into the past. The museum sits on the site of a cotton warehouse where enslaved Black people were forced to work when the cotton economy drove American slavery. I can't bring my microphone in for what seems to me an excellent reason — to respect the solemnity of a museum dedicated to the memory of a national atrocity.Organized evilMoments after stepping into the first area of the exhibit space, you find yourself in darkness, standing in what looks, feels and sounds like the bottom of the ocean. You're introduced to the terrifying expanse of the Atlantic Ocean that more than 13 million Africans were forced to cross in slave ships. Nearly 2 million of them died in this Middle Passage.You're surrounded by underwater sculptures of human bodies, looking at what appears to be the heads, shoulders and arms of enslaved Africans who died after being chained together and then forced onto ships during the transatlantic slave trade. Many of them died from illnesses on the ships due to the horrific conditions. Their bodies were thrown in the ocean. The facial expressions portray horror and despair. As you look at them or try not to, you're hearing the sounds of waves.Later in the day in small group discussions, I listened to the officers and community members discuss what it was like to walk through this display. Several described the experience of feeling shook to the core as they took in this particular scene at the start of the tour. George Warzinik, a sergeant in the Minneapolis 4th Precinct, said later he was shocked by the organized evil of lynching.“My image was always this mob stormed the police station or something, the officers are overwhelmed or whatever, looked away. But there was a headline that said there's a lynching scheduled for tomorrow at 5 o'clock. This is cold calculated. This is, it's booked, it's scheduled, and the governor said he couldn't do anything about it. The governor!” said Warzinik.“We're not talking about the local police guy down there with two, two deputies who's overwhelmed. So, the kind of organizational part of it, you know, that's just really struck me.”As we continue to walk through the exhibit spaces, we move into a section about mass incarceration. You can sit down on a stool and pick up a phone and watch a video that depicts a prisoner welcoming your visit. Each person tells you about the conditions inside the prison and declares their innocence in a crime that landed them behind bars. These are stories told by real incarcerated people.It was after sitting through these video testimonials that I needed a break and went and sat in the women's restroom for a few minutes.‘Not a glimmer of hope'Later in the museum cafeteria filled with students, we met for lunch over delicious soul food to talk about what we've seen. Moving into small groups in a private room, I heard the men share their thoughts about what they'd seen.Like Warzinik, group leader Bill Doherty was struck by the banal efficiency of enslaving and terrorizing people. A retired University of Minnesota professor, his family foundation helped pay for the trip in 2024.“One of the things I got this time is that it takes organization and big systems to do this kind of evil. It's not just in the hearts of individuals,” he said. “I never knew how much the banking system was involved in, in slavery and the slave trade, but slaves were collateral for loans. So the banks were supporting the system by saying, ‘Yeah, you got 12 slaves. I'll lend you this money.' Oh my goodness,” he said.Sherman Patterson, vice president of a Minneapolis nonprofit called Lights On!, noted a quote on the wall about the loss of hope: “I was taught that there was hope after the grave. I lost all hope after I was sold to the South.”“Just think about that, what that's saying,” said Patterson. “That's just, not a glimmer of hope. That's just pure hell. And then the woman who was raped several times and had the kid by her master and she defended herself and killed him and then the justice system said you have no right to defend yourself,” said Patterson, one of the elders in this group.“I grew up in Savannah, Georgia,” he added. “I grew up in true segregation as a kid up until 1975 and saw those things. My grandmother was born in 1919 and sitting on a porch watching her be calling the nigger and all of this here. We could not go downtown in certain places because we were taught you can't, you better not, and this is what you do. So there is anger, but being with this group, this is why we're here. There's hope. There is hope and we're moving forward.”We stop next at the Freedom Monument Sculpture Park. It's a 17-acre site overlooking the Alabama River and the city of Montgomery. On this river, tens of thousands of enslaved people were transported in chains to the slave market. Many, many thousands toiled in fields and factories up and down the Alabama River. And Montgomery was one of the largest slave-trading centers in the United States.‘One heart, and it bleeds the same color'On Day 2, we went to First Baptist Church on the edge of downtown Montgomery. It's a handsome red brick building with a bell tower and a large, round stained glass window. First Baptist was founded in 1867. It is one of the first Black churches in the Montgomery area and became one of the largest Black churches in the South. It played a huge role in the Civil Rights Movement. The Rev. Ralph Abernathy, a close friend and associate of Martin Luther King Jr., was pastor.In the Montgomery bus boycott in 1955 and 1956, First Baptist was a community organizing center. During the Freedom Rides of 1961, this church was besieged for a time by a huge white mob threatening to burn it down.I'd been looking forward to this visit. I grew up in Black Baptist churches in rural communities in southern Virginia. My grandparents raised me, and my grandfather was the pastor of several churches when I was a child. We were greeted in the parking lot by an older Black man, Deacon Emeritus Howard Davis, who reminded me of my grandfather. Davis, 81, was baptized at the church and spent his entire life there as an active member and leader. He greeted each of the men in the group with a smile and a handshake. He shared a bit of the history of the church and the role the building and the people who sat inside it played during the Civil Rights Movement.He described how his family taught him to stay away from white people, particularly white women and girls, and how to this day white women make him nervous. He understands the flip side of that and how white children were told to stay away from Black people and fear them, and how that affects how many of them view Black people today.He also spoke of the modern day challenges that Black people face. He took questions from men in the group and didn't hesitate to shake his head at times and admit he didn't have the answer. At one point one of the group members asked him to pray for them, and he did.Our next stop was Montgomery's former Greyhound Bus Station, now the Freedom Rides Museum. In 1961, teams of volunteers from the North and South challenged the Jim Crow practice of racially-segregated travel on buses and trains in the South. The Freedom Riders were mostly young people, Black and white. They were arrested for violating state and local segregation laws by riding together and ignoring the segregated seating. Local police in many southern towns let the Ku Klux Klan and other mobs attack them.Here, I recorded audio of an interview with community member Brantley Johnson. He reflected on what he saw and how he felt about going on this trip. Johnson said he ran with a gang in Minneapolis and ended up in prison. “When I got out, I promised my kids that I would never leave them again.” He's been part of regular meetings around the 4th Precinct and has been trying to work on ways to build trust between police officers and residents.“We have to meet them at their hardest moments, just like they have to meet us at our hardest moments,” he said of the police. “Because at the end of the day, we all have one heart, and it bleeds the same color, no matter what.”Later, we head to the Rosa Parks Museum on the campus of Troy University. Parks played a pivotal role in the 1955 Montgomery Bus Boycott. She refused to give up her seat in the so-called “colored section” so that a white woman could have it. Parks was arrested for violating the local bus segregation law. In response, Montgomery's Black community boycotted the bus system for more than a year. The protest brought King, then a local pastor, to national prominence and led eventually to the U.S. Supreme Court declaring bus segregation unconstitutional.Our last two stops on this trip are a walking tour of downtown Montgomery and then the National Memorial for Peace and Justice. It's a profoundly moving 6-acre site in downtown Montgomery. Out of respect for the solemnity of this space, we've been asked not to record audio during the visit. The group splits into smaller groups and scatters in different directions. I follow a group up a hill to what's known as the lynching memorial. I've been there before. A year ago while attending a conference in Birmingham, my husband and I drove to Montgomery to visit The Legacy Museum and the memorial.  I found a monument with the name of a city very close to where I grew up, Danville, Va. The first name on the monument was of a man whose last name was Davis and I took a picture of it. Edward Davis, 11.03.1883. That's when he was lynched. I wonder if we're related.Courage to say ‘No'We return to Minneapolis, where the temperature is in single digits, a little colder than the 50s in Alabama.Not only is the weather different, the men appear different than they were when we gathered at the gate to board our flight days earlier.  That morning they were relaxed, even joking around with one another. Now the mood is more somber and the facial expressions appear to be more reflective. I sense a new confidence in them. To me they look like they are ready to approach future interactions with more knowledge and understanding, more empathy.At different points of the trip, many of the men said they were surprised by how much of the history of this country is not taught in schools. Some seemed troubled by how much they didn't know.The group disperses at Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport. I can tell everyone's eager to go home. I know I am. I want to be alone with my thoughts and there's a lot to think about.Like, how does one person change things? How does a small group bring change to a whole police department? How does a small group of community members bring change to a whole city?When I get home, I immediately start to unpack. Most of my souvenirs are clothes, including the navy blue T-shirt I bought at the Rosa Parks Museum. It has a small drawing of her face on the right sleeve and on the front there's one word followed by a period.It simply says “No.”Rosa Parks became famous for the moment in time when she'd had enough of racial segregation, injustice and violence. She said no. When I saw that shirt hanging on a wall in the museum gift shop I screamed “Yes!” I searched for my size and bought it.Back at home in St. Paul, I'm wondering why that shirt speaks to my heart in such a profound way? I think it's because it represents a response from a Black woman living at a time when America was at a breaking point. Much like I feel we are today. And the answer to the problem on that day on the bus for Rosa Parks, was a bold refusal to continue on the same path.It takes courage to say no when it's easier and safer to say yes.What I saw in each of the men I spent four days with in Montgomery was a bold refusal to continue on the same path.  Angela Davis' behind-the-scenes photos from Alabama Each brought curiosity to every site we visited. Each brought an understanding they have a lot to learn. Each sought a way to take something they learned in Montgomery back to Minneapolis and put it to work, taking law enforcement and community relations in a different direction.History has shown us where racial segregation and abuse of power lead. My question is this: What will you say when presented with circumstances that don't feel fair and equitable? What will you do when you are encouraged to go along to get along, even if those actions reinforce racism and division? Will you say “No”?Angela Davis hosts MPR News with Angela Davis, a weekday talk show that airs at 9 a.m. She's been a journalist for more than 30 years in the Twin Cities and across the country.

Henry Louis Gates Jr. calls Montgomery, Alabama, "The Epicenter of the Civil Rights Movement" in his book, The Black Church: This is Our Story, This is Our Song. In 1955, Martin Luther King Jr. was the pastor of the Dexter Avenue Baptist Church in Montgomery when, Rosa Parks , just down the street, refused to surrender her seat on the bus to a white passenger. Rosa Parks bravery – in response to the brutal murder of Emmett Till three months' earlier – activated the Civil Rights Movement. With so much to learn and see in the Montgomery area, we easily filled two weeks with sightseeing, museums, restaurants and lectures. Here we will share our visits to The Legacy Museum, National Memorial for Peace and Justice, Rosa Parks Museum, Freedom Rides Museum, Civil Rights Memorial and Center, Selma's Edmund Pettus Bridge, the Capitol Building, and the Tuskegee Airmen National Historic Site. The post Civil Rights Trail – Chapter Six: Montgomery, Alabama – The Epicenter of The Movement appeared first on Living In Beauty.

In July 2023, a group of clergy and laity from the Great Plains Conference met up with fellow United Methodists from the Louisiana Conference for a civil rights immersion experience. Over the course of four days, the group lived the history of Alabama. Our group spent much of its time in Montgomery. We saw the Dexter Avenue Baptist Church and walked in the parsonage where Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King lived. We spent the better part of a day at the Legacy Museum, a mission of the Equal Justice Initiative (or EJI). It's an amazing museum that uses the latest in technology to help tell the story of racism — from kidnappings in the African continent to the often-deadly voyage to North America to the brutality of slavery. It also explains the injustice of Jim Crow laws and addresses the modern-day inequity of mass incarceration. Our group saw the bus station where Freedom Riders were beaten, walked a memorial dedicated to honoring the lives of the numerous people lynched over the years, including right here in Kansas and Nebraska. We traveled to Selma and walked the bridge where Dr. King, John Lewis and others were abused by white supremacists, including police officers. In Birmingham, we talked with people who are members of 16th Street Baptist Church, where four girls were killed by a bomb. And we toured the Civil Rights Institute, which tells the story, decade by decade, of the push for equity in this country. February is Black History Month, so I wanted to share some of the stories from our trip. I wanted to provide an opportunity for listeners to feel the emotions, embrace the potential for change in our country by hearing the stories of people — Black, brown and white. And, in this concluding episode of the three-part series, I wanted to convey the ways people believe they have changed — And their hopes and dreams for how our world can change … for the better.

In this final episode of the summer series TRUTH QUEST, our travelers make their way to Selma and the Edmund Pettus Bridge. In March of 1965, civil rights protesters were met by a lineup of armed police (many on horseback) with attack dogs and billy clubs who ordered them to turn back. When the marchers refused, they were brutally attacked on a day that became known as Bloody Sunday. SNCC Director John Lewis (later Congressman) was viciously beaten and nearly died that day. We take a ceremonial walk across that bridge. We proceed to Birmingham, known in the 50s and 60s as "Bombingham," where Martin Luther King  (along with Ralph Abernathy and Fred Shuttlesworth) were imprisoned in 1963 for their civil disobedience. We hear a reading of King's Letter from a Birmingham Jail (Osahon Obazuaye). Several months after King wrote his letter, a bomb exploded on a Sunday morning as the congregation gathered for worship in the basement of the 16th Street Baptist Church, killing four young girls. A fifth, Sarah Collins, lost her sister and best friends but survived the blast. All these years later, she met with our group in the memorial park across from the church and shared her story. Ken wraps the series with some reflections, from several fellow travelers and then some concluding reflections of his own.

The One Where Dylan tours The Legacy Museum in Montgomery, AL.2.5 Hours…that's all we could bare..

Melinda opens with a story of losing her luggage on an impromptu trip to Montgomery, Alabama to see the Legacy Museum from Enslavement to Mass Incarceration. Melinda describes the experience of visiting the museum (she suggests taking multiple days to slowly engage with the concept) and what that brought up for her about borderlands. She connects the impact of enslavement to her ancestors in Cape Verde and what that means as a white passing person. She discusses the intentional creation of hierarchy in Cape Verde. She names that she sits at the intersection of oppressed and oppressors. Melinda then shares where she got the concept of borderlands - from a poem “To Live in the Borderlands” by Gloria Anzaldua. Melinda explores this idea of mixed identity and what it means to sit on the borders, rather than pick a side. Liberation exists on the borderlands. Melinda returns to the history of Cape Verde and how the intentional creation of hierarchy including a mixed race impacts culture and identity. She asks how borders can be apart of our liberation and our understanding of how oppression is designed. Melinda connects back to her physical appearance as a place of respite and a battle ground for race and gender. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/melinda-barbosa/message

We go live for a simulcast with very important news that needs serious attention.

Hello hello, fabulous GrowGetters!We have a question for you...What is capacity? And why do we need more of it?Our world today is becoming exponentially faster, more complex, unpredictable, and extremely volatile.

  On Super Bowl Sunday of 2019, Hannah Drake, who had long written about politics, feminism and race, reached a new level of fame when film director and producer Ava DuVernay, to protest the NFL's treatment of quarterback-turned-activist Colin Kaepernick, tweeted out a video of Hannah's poem “All You Had to Do Was Play the Game, Boy.” Kaepernick in turn shared the poem with his followers, and in short order Hannah's words reached 2.4 million viewers. Hannah has only continued turning up the volume on her art and activism since, especially in the last year when after the murder of Breonna Taylor she stood and spoke on the frontlines of protests against police brutality in her hometown of Louisville, KY. She has collaborated with the Louisville Ballet and the Actors Theatre of Louisville on new projects and continues to offer up provocative commentary on her widely read blog, “Write Some S#it.” Hannah is also the chief creative officer of IDEAS xLab, an artist-run nonprofit based in Louisville, KY that champions inclusion and belonging through creativity, art, and action. Inspired by a trip she made with her daughter three years ago to the National Memorial for Peace and Justice and the Legacy Museum in Montgomery, AL, Hannah — along with IDEAS xLab's co-founder and CEO, Josh Miller — devised The (Un)known Project. The (Un)known Project is a multi-year series of public art installations and educational experiences designed to bring to civic and national consciousness the Black men, women and children in Louisville's past who have been overlooked in history. In this interview with Rob Kramer and Pier Carlo Talenti, conducted just a few days before the first portion of the (Un)Known Project was to be unveiled on the banks of the Ohio River, Hannah celebrates the power of art to instigate powerful social change and explains why she pushes through discomfort and fear to stand up for her art and her community. https://www.ideasxlab.com/about https://www.nytimes.com/2021/06/09/arts/design/hannah-drake-unknown-project.html https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OjiuvLzhCrI

Join Change Catalyst Founder & CEO Melinda Briana Epler in conversation with Kate Johnson, President of Microsoft US, for a deep dive on how Microsoft is creating changes from within by leading with empathy.In this episode, Melinda and Kate discuss: Microsoft's ongoing program, Empathy In Action and Accelerate, to build an inclusive workplace Leading with empathy and how to foster vulnerability and courageThe need for top-down clarity on the company's goals, values and outcomes.The importance of processes and data analyticsKate Johnson is the President of Microsoft US, a $45 billion subsidiary including all of Microsoft's solutions, services, and support revenues across the public and private sector in the United States. Focused on driving transformation within Microsoft's largest commercial organization, Kate leads a 10,000-person field team to pursue Microsoft's mission to empower every person and every organization on the planet to achieve more.⠀Highlights from this episode:"Empathy is a superpower. And it's the common denominator for leaders and individual contributors in a successful organization and one that's high-performing, and it's so relevant to Microsoft's mission.""Just trying to become a great leader or to change something without the focus on the outcome and the ability to see progress can be really hard. And so the mandate for us is no matter who you are in the organization, you see a gap between our aspired culture and lived reality. That's the gap that you're on the hook to try and help close no matter what your responsibilities, no matter what your role is. So I'd say if you're an individual and you want to do this, the first thing is the why. What are you trying to accomplish? And then the second thing is what skills do you need?

Is justice really possible? How can we reckon with truth when people disagree about what’s true? We can’t think of a better person to answer these big questions than attorney, author, and Equal Justice Initiative founder Bryan Stevenson. He shares more of his background and describes how he’s reframing the fight for civil rights as an ongoing story, not a closed chapter. Part of this work is The Legacy Museum and National Memorial in Montgomery, reflecting America’s history of slavery, lynching, and segregation. As Bryan says, we need more places that tell the truth, because that’s the only way to overcome the narratives that have defined inequality. Plus: How he’s staying energized during the pandemic, why you WILL be voting this November, and how his great-grandfather passed down a love of learning.Text SUNSTORM to 97779 for updates on how you can take action Head to sunstormpod.com to learn, read and find out how you can get involved!

They discuss the details of the Montgomery, AL property investment market, from its biggest industries, transportation, and cultural attractions.   Episode Highlights: Montgomery is a better market to buy in than Birmingham if cash flow is your priority. The median value in Montgomery is $120,000 with a median rent of $900. This gives you an income of about $11,000 per year, with under $1,000 in property taxes each year. Montgomery has the first North American Hyundai production facility that employs around 1,300 people and has an economic impact to the state of over $4 billion. Maxwell employs about 17,000 military, civil service, and contract personnel, with about 34,000 students going through there every year. These major employers mean housing demand is extremely high and makes Montgomery a great place to invest. Montgomery is within 600 miles of ⅓ of the entire United States population. It is centrally located to major interstates, an airport that accommodates 350,000 travelers each year, access to major rail systems, and the Alabama River giving you access to the port city of Mobile. Montgomery has a rich history and a lot of cultural sites including Martin Luther King Jr.’s home, the Alabama Shakespeare Festival, and more. A large conference and recreation center is getting built in Montgomery, which will further expand development and construction. There has been an 8.5% increase in tourism in Montgomery in 2018 alone. $15.5 billion were spent in the tourism industry in Montgomery in 2015, before many of these developments even happened. There are also A class homes in the suburbs outside of Montgomery, in towns like Prattville. Just in the first 6 weeks of 2020, they’ve seen a 10% increase in rental properties in the Montgomery area.   3 Key Points: Montgomery has low taxes and high potential for cash flow, so it’s a great place to buy rental properties as an investor. People are more likely to stay in a city that has things to do and feels like a community in the way Montgomery does. Montgomery is at the point in its growth that Birmingham was at around 10 years ago, so now is the time to invest.   Tweetable Quotes: “We’re taking a lot of these historic homes & properties & renovating them, keeping the old touches & adding a contemporary flair, & folks want to be in those areas—walking distance to downtown, to a lot of these activities, the nightlife, it’s growing exponentially.” –Kim Furlow “When you add the Legacy Museum and other historic points of interest on top of the theatre and the baseball and this huge venue, you don’t have to drive to Birmingham or Atlanta.” –Kim Furlow   Resources Mentioned: Check out our website ahiproperties.com Check out Birmingham Insurance Group online or call them at (205) 616-1107 Buy, sell, and own investment properties the way the pros do it with www.roofstock.com Email Jonathan and Bryan at Podcast@AHIProperties.com Email Kim at kfurlow@ahiproperties.com

Social justice advocate Bryan Stevenson is the subject in the new movie, “Just Mercy.” The film, starring Michael B. Jordan and Jamie Foxx, is based on Stevenson’s memoir with the same name. Stevenson, an attorney, founded the Equal Justice Initiative and has advocated for the release of more than 100 prisoners on death row. He’s passionate about fighting against racial injustice and using history to help America confront its troubling past. In 2018, his organization opened The Legacy Museum: From Enslavement to Mass Incarceration in Montgomery, Alabama. In his conversation with former Harvard President Drew Gilpin Faust, he talks about how now is the time to change the narrative around issues of race. This is a rebroadcast. Stevenson and Faust spoke in 2016. The views and opinions of the podcast guests are their own and do not necessarily reflect those of the Aspen Institute.

This week’s interview is Shannon Gavin Johnson the executive director of the Troup County Historical Society’s Archives and Legacy Museum. The interview was extremely enlightening. Shannon shared her love of the LaGrange community, her passion for history and archiving and her love of the small town feel of LaGrange. That’s not all she shared in the interview, but I don’t want to spoil it for you. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/HeyLaGrange/support

Kate Walsh, President, of National Council on Teacher Quality, joins us today to discuss her recent article, Getting at the root of the school to prison pipeline. She shares details about her visit to the Legacy Museum in Montgomery, Alabama, and how that inspired her to write this article. A focus of NCTQ is whether or not the programs that prepare elementary teachers are making sure those aspiring teachers learn the science of reading. Teacher preparation programs play a key role in ensuring teachers enter the classroom knowing how to best teach children to read. Kate contests that with our current achievement gaps, noted as -------, promoting the science of reading is a clear equity issue. After her visit to the Legacy Museum, Kate wonders, “Is the reason Americans tolerate unnecessarily high rates of kids who never learn how to read yet another manifestation of institutionalized racism?”

Shantrice and I visit Montgomery, Alabama to see the Legacy Museum and Lynching Memorial.

Earlier this summer, Episcopal Divinity School at Union and The Episcopal Church of the Heavenly Rest made a pilgrimage to Montgomery, Alabama to visit the Legacy Museum and the National Memorial for Peace and Justice. Established by the Equal Justice Initiative, these sites are our nation’s first memorials dedicated to the legacy of enslaved Black people, those terrorized by lynching and Jim Crow segregation, and the ongoing threat of police violence and mass incarceration to African American men and women. During the Pilgrimage, Kelly sat down with Rev. Anne Marie Witchge from the Church of Heavenly Rest, as well as Union students Carl Adair, Grace Aheron, and Galvin Mathis to discuss their experience on the pilgrimage.

I spent my 4th of July at The Monument at the Peace and Justice Memorial Center and The Legacy Museum which shows the terrorism and the ugliness towards a people of African Blacks slaves, Black business, farmer owners, former military, women, and children being terrorized by the hands of White people just because. They used the term Pic a Nigger and this motivated them to take there rage and anger out and celebrate with a picnic of 1000's white men, women, and children watching dressed in their Sunday best to witness these act of Terror. This is not knew to ME but i wanted everyone to know that we should never forget those White people and they ancestors that felt that this was alright to do to a human being. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/dennis-s-murray-sr/support

Public theologian Ruby Sales opens up what it was like to be a teenage participant in the civil rights movement — including the impatience she had with religion and how she circled back, through her experiences of the movement, to a sense of the deep reason for inner life and religious groundings. The question she carries with her, “Where does it hurt?”, models new ways for us to understand one another. Sales is the founder and director of the Spirit House Project. She was recently honored at the opening of the Equal Justice Initiative’s Legacy Museum. Find the transcript at onbeing.org.

A new memorial to the victims of racial terror lynchings is attracting new visitors to Montgomery, Alabama. In this episode of the Associated Press Travel podcast "Get Outta Here," AP Travel editor Beth Harpaz visits the city to see the memorial and a new museum dedicated to the legacy of slavery and segregation. You'll hear from visitors who drove across the country to be there for the opening, and you'll hear what Ava DuVernay and others have to say about it. The podcast also explores some of Montgomery's other incredible civil rights history, including the arrest of Rosa Parks, the Montgomery bus boycott, the Freedom Rides and the parsonage where a young minister named Martin Luther King, Jr., became the leader of a movement, virtually overnight.

Luke 21:25-36

I visited The Legacy Museum, if not the first week, then the second week that it opened. The Legacy Museum was created by the Equal Justice Initiative and is located in Montgomery, Alabama. The Legacy Museum is split into four parts or themes that chart the history of the systematic oppression of Black people. The first section is kidnapped, which relates to slavery. The second is terrorized which relates to lynching. The third, which is segregated relates to Jim Crow. And the fourth, which is the most modern relates to mass incarceration. Visit http://noirehistoir.com/blog/the-legacy-museum for show notes and video.

I had a very powerful week in Montgomery and Birmingham, Alabama. I was part of a delegation of 35 rabbis and other Jewish leaders with T'ruah - A Rabbinic Call for Human Rights, visiting the Legacy Museum and The National Memorial for Peace and Justice, both created by the Equal Justice Initiative. In Parshat Vayera in the Torah, we read the painful story of Akedat Yitzhak, the binding of Isaac. This episode reflects on how this morally problematic story mirrors contemporary issues of racial injustice.

Bryan Stevenson, the New York Times–bestselling author of Just Mercy, has been called America’s Nelson Mandela by Desmond Tutu and Nicholas Kristof. As a civil rights lawyer, he’s liberated more than 100 people from death row, proving their innocence in the process. And as the founder of the Equal Justice Initiative, he recently opened the Legacy Museum and the National Memorial for Peace and Justice in Montgomery, Alabama, which commemorate lynching, slavery, terrorism against African Americans, Jim Crow, and mass incarceration in this country. They are stunning tributes that compel us to never repeat the worst of our past. Because of our history, Stevenson argues that no one in this country is really free, but he paints a path to a more just society in which we can all confront and overcome racial inequality. It’s a future that Stevenson feels really hopeful about, but not one that will materialize unless we act now.

Nobody's perfect--even people who are committed to social justice. But activist Leslie Mac has been noticing a pattern when mistakes are inevitably made by people who consider themselves allies. She recently described it in a piece on Medium: White person/organization/group ****s up royally. Usually by stepping out of their lane and commenting on someone or something they shouldn’t  or screwing over someone they claim to be in solidarity with . Public outrage is expressed, coupled with many Black Women giving detailed reasons why & how they ****ed up. The offending party claims they didn’t “intend to offend” and appears unable to hear what anyone is saying to them. After receiving push back on their initial response, an “apology statement” centered on themselves is issued (“we never meant to harm anyone” “I would never do what I’m being accused of” “we are so sad about how this was received”) while failing to take actual responsibility for their actions. When their meek, ineffective apology isn’t accepted with open arms, they become the victim of “unfair treatment” & “bullying”. They eventually — after a lot more free labor from Black Women — “learn” what they did wrong, declare themselves an expert on f******g up and recenter themselves as a way to “teach others” Do this same s*** all over again the next time they mess up. Leslie says it's not the fact that people make mistakes--it's the way they react when being called out on those mistakes that's problematic. She says when someone does something racist, sexist, etc., they shouldn't make their response and apology all about their own feelings. They should center the feelings of the people they harmed. Leslie joined us to tell us more, and give us her tips for how allies can get it right.  We also talk to Amber Duke and Soha Saiyeed with the ACLU of Kentucky. Earlier this year, they traveled to Montgomery, Alabama for the opening of the Legacy Museum and the National Memorial for Peace and Justice (more commonly known as the Lynching Memorial). They share what it was like to visit the memorial, which features Kentucky prominently, because of the number of lynchings that happened here.

Michael lmhotep host of The African History Network Show discusses the opening of the National Memorial for Peace and Justice and The Legacy Museum in Montgomery, Alabama that commemorates 4,400 African Americans who were the victims of lynchings in the U.S. from 1877 - 1950.  One of the reasons why lynchings took place is because some African American men were prosperous businessman and this caused jealousy among some Whites who killed them.  Discussed in the Elaine, Arkansas Massacre of 1919 when dozens of African American sharecroppers were killed for organizing to get better pay.
