Welcome to Karen Hunter is awesome.

And in this space, we have conversations that very few people have.

I love nuance, but more than nuance.

I really like to think deeply about the conditions that we find ourselves in every day.

In our case, we need accomplices, people who are going to fight for the rights and justice of all

people because it's the right thing to do. Well, we don't see that quite frequently. People put

out books and that's nice, but, you know, how many people really put their lives on the line?

Well, this woman did did she left her couch

after watching the horrors of bloody sunday and said i have to do something and the something

was head down south and get involved in the civil rights movement and it cost of her life

joining us right now is her son he in the civil rights movement and it cost of her life.

Joining us right now is her son.

He is, of course, a lecturer and he's out there still fighting for the thing that took his mother, took his mother's life.

Let me welcome to the show, Anthony Liuzo.

Welcome, the son of Viola Liuzzo. Hi. Hi, doctor. How are you? I am not a doctor,

but I am well. Thank you. Thank you. Let me change it. Just call me Karen, please.

Okay. I sure will. I've been talking about your mom for a while since I discovered her.

She wasn't taught in my school. I didn't learn about her,

I think, until I was in my 30s because she wasn't featured prominently on many of the

documentaries that I watched. And I wondered why, you know, and then watching her documentary,

Home of the Brave, I was like, this woman, your family went through a lot after she was killed to, you know, she was defamed and, you know, excoriated.

How did you navigate that as a little boy watching them do that, not just take your mother's life, but then her reputation?
