Mia Birdsong / Patrisse Cullors / Opal Tometi / Alicia Garza: An interview with the founders of Black Lives Matter (2016x226)

Air date: Nov 29, 2016

Born out of a social media post, the Black Lives Matter movement has sparked discussion about race and inequality across the world. In this spirited conversation with Mia Birdsong, the movement's three founders share what they've learned about leadership and what provides them with hope and inspiration in the face of painful realities. Their advice on how to participate in ensuring freedom for everybody: join something, start something and "sharpen each other, so that we all can rise."
