Our November episode explores athletes and political organizers who are energizing the power of the black vote and political liberation. In the 2020 presidential election we witnessed history, as the once red state of Georgia flipped to blue, through the power and determination of Stacey Abrams to get black voters registered and to the polls. And that’s only the beginning of the advancement of black political power. First, in our “Beyond the Court” section (2:30) we speak with co-founder of the Black Lives Matter movement, Alicia Garza. She talks about how her upbringing led her to political organizing and what she's doing now to promote political power in the black community. Later, in the “Center Court” section (19:48) we talk with Patricia Robinson and Eric Reid about their work with the Know Your Rights Camps, an organization started by Colin Kaepernick to teach Black and Brown youth about their legal rights. And lastly, we hear from Know Your Rights youth ambassadors Aisatou Diallo and Shandra Rodgers (31:37), about their experience through the program.
