In this eighth episode of Looking Back/Moving Forward, I interview the authors of the book, Pushing Forward - Hezekiah Watkins and Andrea Ledwell. In the interview, the authors discuss the genesis of the book; Mr. Watkins shares stories about being the youngest person arrested in the Freedom Rides in Jackson, Mississippi; and Ms. Ledwell discusses her journey, as a White woman, of becoming anti-racist.

White Privilege

Commentary on past, current, and future events and incidents in which race and racism were at the center. I will offer commentary on my experiences as a 1960s civil rights activist and offer commentary on similarities and differences between activism during the 1960s and that of today.
