Munya and Brian conclude their discussion of chapter 12 of Greg Grandin’s The End of the Myth by discussing the evolution of the Civil Rights Movement, Martin Luther King Jr’s 1967 Riverside Speech, and MLK’s evolving legacy.

Up Next: We take a detour from Grandin’s book to discuss the counter-revolution of the 1970s and try to answer: Why are things so awful now and why will they never get better?”
