Founded in 1930, Riverside Church in the City of New York strives to be interdenominational, interracial, and international.  While many in the Columbia community have seen Riverside Church, few are aware of its rich history—hosting the likes of Martin Luther King Jr. and Mandela. In this episode of The Ear, Sophia Cordoba unpacks the history behind Riverside’s prominence in the struggle for racial justice. ​​Credits: • Edited by Lara-Nour Walton • Produced by Sophia Cordoba • Music by Eva Scholz-Carlson and Matthew Schwizter • Illustration by Macy Sinreich • Voice Acting by Ted Schmiedeler Follow us on Instagram @SpectatorPodcasts and check out our other episodes!
