8:02Now PlayingAs we close out #BlackHistoryMonth, Resident Legal Diva Melba Pearson explores how we remember, and sometimes sanitize, American history. From a federal judge ordering the restoration of an exhibit detailing George Washington’s enslaved workers, to the overlooked courage of Claudette Colvin, to the enduring legacy of Rev. Jesse Jackson, this conversation examines how historical truth, legal accountability, and civil rights activism are deeply connected.
Justice isn’t just about courtrooms. It’s about who we honor, what we acknowledge, and whether we are willing to confront uncomfortable truths in order to move forward.
