The Civil War & Racial Progress: Black Lives Matter, Including Confederate Ones W/ Mrs. Georgia-Wright Benton


Listen Later

In a time where racial tensions are at a high, and civil unrest as a reaction to the murder of George Floyd stings the nation as an open wound, a return to our racial climax following the American Civil War and promotion of peace, unity, healing, and understanding is more than called for. 

Join Nick this week, and his guest Mrs. Georgia Wright-Benton, an African American member of the United Daughters of The Confederacy, as they explore race relations, the Civil Rights Movement, and healing.
