Some lessons never get old! This oldie but goodie conversation between organizer, artist and leader, “Dr” Phillip Agnew and SNT is a special lecture at the “Nina Turner School of Hell-Raising Humanitarians”. More than a history review, this mind-blowing session takes on wealth, health, safety, morality and how our “bastard” country has murdered its way to exactly where we are right now. Be prepared to be schooled with helpful facts to keep your foot on the gas toward continued organizing, motivating and activating. Hello Somebody.
