We would love to hear from you! Send us a text message.

Discover the enduring power of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s "Letter from Birmingham Jail" as Brian, Austin, and Neddie journey through the historical and emotional landscape that gave rise to this pivotal document in the civil rights movement. The guys discuss the strategic genius behind King's choice of Birmingham for his campaign, and the deep Christian ethos he leveraged to rebut criticism and articulate his vision for justice and equality. 

We explore King's response to being branded an "outside agitator," a label often used to undermine the movement. The conversation also invites listeners into a thoughtful debate on King's principles. 

We also grapple with the complexities he faced amidst the violent backlash from segregationists and the contrasting pressures from black nationalists. Join us as we take this weekend to honor Dr. King, whose message remains as relevant as ever.
