Clayborn Temple is more than just a building; it is a hallowed institution of the Civil Rights movement in Memphis. It was the headquarters for the historic sanitation strike that brought Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. to the city, and the basement where the iconic "I AM A MAN" signs were created. We also cover the tragic recent arson that destroyed the interior of this landmark, and the resilient community effort now underway to redesign, rebuild, and resurrect the structure from its surviving framework.

Just two years after the passage of the Voting Rights Act, Carl Stokes achieved what many thought impossible: he became the first Black American elected mayor of a major U.S. city. In 1967, against "great odds," Stokes won over Cleveland, Ohio, through a historic coalition of Black support and white participation. . We also trace his path from City Hall to the global stage as a U.S. Ambassador under President Clinton, and look at his lasting legacy in downtown Cleveland today. Learn more about your ad choices.

Barbara Johns was just a high school student in Virginia when she decided enough was enough. Frustrated by the stark inequality between her all-Black school and the facilities white students received, she organized a student strike in 1951 that would change the course of American history. Her action drew the support of the NAACP and became one of the five cases combined into the landmark Brown v. Board of Education decision. In this episode, we trace her journey from that high school hallway to the U.S. Capitol, where her statue now stands in place of Confederate General Robert E. Lee. Learn more about your ad choices.
