“I really thank Mr. Capehart and WaPo for presenting this series of podcasts, Voices of the Movement.
I was born in 1952 in San Jose, CA, where I still live, a now-retired, white, once-kid of The Era. The podcast reminds me of why we sang folk songs -- *protest* songs -- in the '60s partly in support of our FoCs (Friends of Color and, sorry, I just made that label up), whether we knew them individually or not.
There were many I both knew and treasured. Also, one cannot play jazz (as I have attempted *forever*) without respecting the many artistic, intellectual, and moral contributions of our fellow citizens whose skin isn't white like mine.
If you're a child of the '50s and/or '60s, this series of discussions will take you back. If you're younger than that, my hope is that you'll be inspired by hearing these stories eloquently told.
Pride and courage to you, Mr. Capehart, and to all of your guests, icons or otherwise.
Highly recommended!”Read full review »

“Dear Jonathan, Your podcasts should be required listening in every school in our country. John Lewis continues to inspire me and give me hope that one day “we’ll get there.” Thank you for this labor of radical love. Livia”
