On this 20th episode of the Civics Over Politics podcast, the show takes an introspective look at how race has played a role in American history. Special attention is paid to the massive resistance of the newly enshrined civil rights in the 1950s and 1960s.

We close the show with yet another travel recommendation, as summer is coming soon and it's the vacation season.
