This season on the Voices of Black Folk Podcast, we have learned from an assortment of phenomenal Black Folk, who are serving as trailblazers within their respective fields and industries. To close out season two, I elected to bring on someone that I not only admire; but an individual who is mission-driven and working on a daily basis to ensure that we understand the lessons of our past, in order to work towards the promise of our future.

Darryl Lockett currently serves as the Executive Director of the Kennedy King Memorial Initiative. In this role, Darryl is leading a historic non-profit initiative by developing partnerships with key stakeholders nationally to advance the mission of MLK and Bobby Kennedy. Building on the historic events of April 4, 1968, when then-Senator Kennedy announced the assassination of Dr. King.

In this conversation, we cover topics from college life to civil rights historical events, all the way to the impactful work he currently undertakes and everything in-between. As we close out season two, I encourage you to sit back, take a listen, and reflect, because this is an episode you definitely do not want to miss.
