Behind The Mic: MLK50 - Pass The Mic

What this episode covers

If you listened to our 5 part mini series 'Not The Voice, The Microphone: The Pass The Mic Story', the style of this episode will be very familiar to you. In honor of MLK day, we wanted to revisit a 'cannon event' from Pass The Mic's history that we unfortunately did not have time to discuss in the miniseries but definitely deserves a spotlight. This week Dr. Jemar Tisby is joined by Executive Producer Beau York to share an oral history of sorts from their experiences in Memphis, TN 50 years after the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr. At the time, two events took place that weekend. Both named MLK50. One was put on by the National Civil Rights Museum that brought together activists, thought leaders, and veterans from the Civil Rights movement of the past and present. The other was put on by the Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission. They went to the former, but definitely have thoughts on the latter. Enjoy.
