On this, our last installment of the powerful words series, we close out with a King delivering the words of a King. Martin Luther King III reads and performs for all of us the powerful words from his father last sermon from the pulpit of Ebenezer Baptist Church. The sermon is called the Drum Major Instinct and from its call for police to stand with black citizens to its discussion of how many of us fight to keep up with the "Jones's" it is hyper relevant. During this session, there were moments that i had tears in my eyes. None more so than when Martin himself get a little chocked up as he read through his fathers words about his own funeral which we now know would end up being only a couple of months later. In this session, I realized that to us Dr Martin Luther King Jr was this larger than life figure that we respect and hold high because of what he did - but to MLKIII he was simply Dad. You get a chance to feel the real emotion in Martin when you realize that much like i miss my own father he misses his own.

Remember those trucks that use to ride through our neighborhoods spraying "pesticides"- turns out Big Momma was right. It wasn't pesticides the government was spraying it was cancer-causing chemicals and black bodies were the test subjects. This episode discusses what happened in a St Louis community and how the government used us as test subjects AGAIN. The government has admitted its actions here yet neither compensation nor reparation has been introduced. Listen to actor and film-maker, Damien D Smith, discuss his new documentary Target St Louis Volume 1 and the horrible things they did to us.

The courtroom is a powerful place and the impact it has on us is broad and far reaching, but how much do we know about the players that participate.

Today you are made powerful by the information that our guest, Fulton Country (GA) Judge candidate Shermela Williams, lays out for you. THIS IS ONE OF OUR MOST IMPORTANT EPISODES! You cannot truly improve the system or improve the system if you do not understand the system.
