If recent events have shown us anything, they’ve demonstrated how much work is still to be done when it comes to racial equality across the globe. Part of progressing is deeply embedded in understanding the past, and so today Maia discusses a critical moment in history when schools were integrated for the first time. Also on today’s episode of 365 days of mxmtoon, we’re brought back to 2013 (ah, simpler times) to revisit the release date of the album that propelled 16-year-old Ella Yelich-O’Connor to stardom (better known by her stage name...can you guess who?). Join this episode today and make sure you’re following along with the daily updates @365daysmxmtoon on all platforms. Distributed by Talkhouse.
