Episode 230: Real Talk: Getting Uncomfortable in Montgomery

Black History and Culture
Written By Robin Lofton

Real Talk is getting uncomfortable in Montgomery. Ama-Robin, Mel, and Ben visit the historical town of Montgomery, Alabama. The town is home to the Equal Justice Initiative which works to challenge racial and economic injustice in the United States.

The ETT team discusses the Legacy Museum, the National Memorial for Peace and Justice, and the Freedom Monument Sculpture Park. The city of Montgomery is also a living museum. This was an "unforgettable journey through American History." We confront racial terror and reflect on America's conflicting and racist rhetoric and experiences. 

Join us for this "uncomfortable" journey of healing in one of America's most historically racist spaces. 

Asante sana to the Equal Justice Initiative for its continuing work towards racial justice. You can learn more about their work and support them at eji.org.
