We're continuing our celebration of Black History Month by taking a look at the most influential Civil Rights leaders like Martin Luther King Jr., Malcolm X, W.E.B. Du Bois, and more. Plus, analyzing the different approaches and rel meanings of Black power and "non-violence." Plus, the unrelated history of the Negroni because everyone needs a drink for the weekend!

Legendary Civil Rights Leaders

Let's be honest. History is full of f*cked up sh*t. But what are we gonna do, pretend like it never happened? Have a drink with your host, actor and writer Will Sterling, and his more qualified former Presidential Speechwriting co-host, Dr. Craig Smith. They unpack the silly, salacious, scandalous, and serious stuff in history. If we don't learn from the past, we're doomed to repeat it. So let's at least try to do it with honesty and, wherever possible, a laugh.
