We continue our Martin Luther King Jr. Day special with an examination of King’s legacy. We talk with young social justice activists about how his life influences their work today. Our guests include: Destiny Watford, member of Free Your Voice, a United Workers committee working in Baltimore’s Curtis Bay and Brooklyn neighborhoods to ensure fair development that puts community first; Babatunde Salaam of New Lens, a youth-driven social justice organization that makes art and media about issues where a youth perspective can inspire change; Dawnya Johnson, of The Intersection project, which teaches youth to organize and engage in civic action around issues affecting their communities; and Dr. Jeanne Theoharis, professor of Political Science at Brooklyn College and author of The Rebellious Life of Mrs. Rosa Parks.
