In this episode, listeners will hear from Jill Wine-Banks, a former Watergate Special Prosecutor, General Counsel of the Army, and the author of “The Watergate Girl”; Maya Wiley, a New York City mayoral candidate, university professor at The New School in New York City, and a long-time racial justice attorney; and Danny Greenberg, co-editor of the book “The Trial of the Chicago 7: The Official Transcript,” who oversees the pro bono program at New York firm Schulte Roth & Zabel. 
These experts speak to the significance of events in 1968 and the trial, and the powerful parallels with what’s happening in America today. They also discuss the protests, racial injustice, the politicization of the justice department, and the issue of unqualified judges. And they share their thoughts on the power of activism and what gives them cause for optimism.
