The Legal Strategies and Grassroots Activism

  • サマリー

  • In this episode, we explore the critical legal strategies and on-the-ground activism that drove the Civil Rights Movement in America. Lawyer Fred Cooke provides historical context on the pivotal court cases and legal minds, like Charles Hamilton Houston and Thurgood Marshall, who crafted the legal framework to challenge segregation and inequality.

    We then hear from #SNCCVeterans Frank Smith and Charles McLaurin, who share their personal experiences growing up in the Jim Crow South and the sacrifices they made as young activists with the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC). They discuss the importance of local organizing and voter registration efforts in places like Mississippi, as well as the ongoing challenges of protecting the hard-won gains of the movement.
