Ken Nash and Mimi Rosenberg of WBAI's Building Bridges interviewed the Reverend William Barber II of North Carolina, who as President of the state's NAACP provided the vision behind a powerful grassroots movement called Moral Mondays. This movement has used mass demonstrations to challenge the NC legislature's regressive agenda against gay marriage and voting rights, and more recently, its attempt to strip the incoming Democratic governor of power. In the tradition of Martin Luther King Jr., Reverend Barber speaks about the absolute necessity of fusing the interests of blacks and working-class whites, especially in the face of Trumpism, and especially in the South. Produced by Ken Nash and Mimi Rosenberg for Sprouts.
