Summary
In this episode, the Brown Sisters had the honor of interviewing two siblings who are giants of the social justice movement: Makani Themba and Robin D.G. Kelley. Makani is an organizer and movement strategist, who recently stepped into co-leadership of the Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation. Robin is a historian, scholar of African American history and struggle, and author of Race Rebels, among many other titles. We enter their sweet story of solidarity and sibling love, which they are telling for the very first time.
