Episode 77: Tony on the Mic - Richard Lawrence Marching with MLK and a lifetime of crusading - a podcast by Tony on the Mic

Today’s episode is a little different. Reverend Richard Lawrence, who protested with Martin Luther King Jr, and was also a part of the historic march from Selma to Montgomery Alabama, was featured a little while back on Popular Nation, where he discussed a lifetime of dedication to social justice, civil rights and equality. He talks about his early days in the church and the movement, how he picked his specific church – spoiler alert, it was because they had a baseball team. He compares the issues and efforts, then versus now. He also talks about the wins, the losses the progress and the toll it took on his life and relationships.
