Harris can be seen in many a photograph with Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.). We talk about family, freedom, equitability, and much more in this talk.

In The Shoes Of is back in business! Planned interviews will still be done, but like this episode, many in the future will be raw on the fly footage from random meetings with interesting people around the world.

In this episode, we meet a 77-year-old taxi driver who has some wisdom regarding health and longevity, representatives from the longest protest in U.S. history, and from a mother and daughter who had just experienced the Museum of African American History and Culture. 

 *FYI: I changed the title to DC Discussions because the original name was a tad too close to an established band’s name; no worries YouTube, it’s been changed. The audio may or may not be edited to reflect that.

Stay tuned for a new episode every Monday.
