African American History Week: Martin Luther King

Just days after John Lewis's casket crossed the Edmund Pettus Bridge for the final time, Historian, entrepreneur and Selma native Mark Peterson joins us to talk about Dr. King. We discuss his life, and more specifically the impact of the protest of 1965 carried out by King, Lewis and their compatriots on Mark's hometown, what this meant for Mark's own upbringing, and what America lost with Dr. King's untimely death. The answer is: a giant. Support us: https://www.patreon.com/historyhackTips: https://ko-fi.com/historyhackBuy the books: https://uk.bookshop.org/shop/historyhackMerch: https://www.historyhackpod.com/Patreon members get extra time: 15 more minutes, in which you get to see behind the scenes and find out how the book was written.
