Episode 19: Lawrence Hamm
from The Backgrounder
Lawrence Hamm, Chairman of the People’s Organization For Progress, talks about the tragic shooting in Charleston, S.C., the current momentum against the Confederate flag, and his own life – a journey that transformed him from a Newark kid who was expelled from a public school, to graduating high school as an honors student and state running champion, to making national headlines as the youngest school board member in the country, to graduating from Princeton University where he met one of his most encouraging mentors, Dr. Cornel West. He also speaks about the upcoming Million People’s March in Newark, N.J. on July 25th. This episode is sponsored by The GI Go Fund and The Offices of Alan G. Trembulak, Esq.
