  • In this episode, #SNCCVeteran Courtland Cox catches up with Charles Taylor and Nse Ufot. Cox recounts his initial reluctance to join the civil rights protests at Howard University in 1960, before committing the next 64 years to the struggle. He emphasizes the need for long-term direct action. Taylor discusses growing up in Jackson, Mississippi and the continuum of activism, stressing the move from protest to power. Ufot, a Nigerian immigrant, shares her efforts to close the gap between America's rhetoric of freedom and the reality for marginalized communities.

    The guests delve into grassroots organizing strategies in Alabama, Mississippi and Georgia, from voter registration to ballot initiatives. They highlight the importance of organic community connections, effective use of technology, and building local power - as seen in recent Mississippi and Georgia campaigns. As the 2024 election nears, the conversation underscores the South's critical role and the urgency for communities to define their own narratives.
