Show Notes

Ali Velshi talks with activists and ordinary Birmingham residents about growing up and living their lives in a city steeped in the struggles of the Civil Rights Movement. He’s also joined by Rev. Dr. Carolyn McKinstry, who survived the 1963 bombing of the 16th Street Baptist Church, Birmingham Mayor Randall Woodfin, Brittney Cooper, Errin Haines, Andre Perry, Jelani Cobb, Congressman Mondaire Jones and more. Plus former impeachment manager Del. Stacey Plaskett explains why she thinks new reporting from the New York Times and Washington Post shows that Donald Trump  “was in fact not only an instigator but a planner of the attack on January 6.”
