Thank you so much!

It was an eye opening, pleasurable, and intellectual listen. I have not seen the film but I am familiar with the story behind Emmett Till and his amazing mother who had the task of turning tragedy into triumph. This narrative needs to be an ongoing thing and hopefully we will not become desensitized to the physical manifestations of these conflicts and instead be motivated to do, learn, and say more.
