Show Notes
On this Martin Luther King Jr. Day, we're bringing you an episode of Versify from the archives.
In the episode, Freedom Rider Etta Marie Simpson Ray speaks with poet Kelley Bell about the experience of living in the echo of a movement when your contributions have all but been erased, finding the courage to risk personal gain for the collective good, and the critical importance of carrying the old days with us.
