I recorded this episode over a month before the racial unrest and the murder of George Floyd. Dr. Bracy shares the power of change in the midst of racial unrest. Ironically, she is speaking to experiences over 50 years ago, yet somehow it could be as though she is speaking to the events of today. Dr. Bracy is a gem in the African American community, living history, and offers more ideas and tips on how we all can Be a Better Ally and Activist!
