The following program is pre-recorded.

Welcome to the Eric Mettaxas show with your host, Eric Mettaxas.

Hello there, folks.

This is the Eric Metaxis show, or so they tell me.

Part of what I like to do on this show is introduce my audience, which would be you, technically,

to people that I've gotten to know, to new friends, new ideas. Recently, I was in Birmingham, Alabama, with my friend Larry Taunton.

He's with the Fix Point Foundation.

He's been on this program many times.

And we were doing a conference there, and he brought a few people to the conference as

speakers whose work I was unfamiliar with.

One of them is C.L. Bryant. And I had such a

fun time getting to know C.L. Bryant that I said, hey, you know, it would be a nice gesture

to let my audience know who C.L. Bryant is and to bless you as I have been blessed. So my guest for the day, C.L.

C.L., welcome to the Eric Matakshus show. Thank you so much for the invitation, and I'm glad to be here

with you, Eric. Well, we had fun with Larry Taunton in Birmingham, and part of the fun for me was getting to know you.

And so let me tell my audience, you've been a minister for over 35 years.

You're in Shreveport, Louisiana.

You were the president of the NAACP.

I want to ask you about that.

You made a film, an award-winning film called Runaway Slave.

I want to talk to you about that.

You've written a book called A Race for Freedom.
