Summary: Despite some truly 2020-style audio recording issues, our 2nd to last episode of the season is here! First off the bat, peep our pre-episode plug with the homies Daniel & Damon of AirGo Radio! We hope you’re listening to our podcast episodes back-to-back every week! Then to the full episode, we have our guest, Christian Snow of Assata’s Daughters and the People’s Law Office, share her love and key takeaways from the book Groundwork: Local Black Freedom Movements in America. We often only hear the civil rights movement narrative between the mid-fifties to the mid-sixties, or also known as the ‘Montgomery to Memphis’ framework. That historical narrative emphasizes a story of national organizations, charismatic leadership, policy change and mass mobilizations. Groundwork unearths the buried stories of the people, places, and struggles that laid the foundation for the movement. This is a detailed book that explores the common threads of what people did and how they did it, and insists on the value of exploring this work that never made national headlines or classroom textbooks.
