The Game Plan Episode Five: This Is My Brother Right Here

The Game Plan is a space to strategize, organize, and posterize for the future of the disability rights movement – subscribe, rate, review, and join us! This episode of The Game Plan is historic—our first episode with two guests! We couldn’t think of two better people to join Eric than Conrad Crump and Tremmel Watson, whose friendship and connection to each other, and their work, are infectious. Together, they share about their disparate upbringings, which led to Conrad and Tremmel’s unlikely friendship, and their unique journeys with disability identity. The three also pay homage to two indomitable Black and disabled voices, activist Assata Shakur and R&B singer D’Angelo. Conrad and Tremmel’s mutual passion for activism, representation, and their roots is a call for a world where we can all find liberation. This episode is a balm for the soul, and we hope you enjoy. “Alexa, play some 90’s R&B.”Content warning: There is discussion of violence and trauma at 20:35-21:00.Links:· Activating Change: https://www.activatingchange.org/· The Autobiography of Malcolm X: https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/106490/the-autobiography-of-malcolm-x-by-malcolm-x-as-told-to-alex-haley/· Brad Lomax documentary: https://www.pbs.org/wnet/americanmasters/brad-lomax-documentary/33589/
