Michael Eric DysonGUEST
And when you think about A&T and you think about the history of Greensboro, the sit-ins, it's always been young people leading the way.
Michael Eric DysonGUEST
whether it was the Freedom Riders on the buses or John Lewis and Diane Nash or the Nashville movement, the Greensboro movement, the Little Rock Nine, young people have always led the way.
Michael Eric DysonGUEST
And in this repressive time with an authoritarian government that is seeking to arrest politicians on the eve of a vote, which is highly unusual and against that policy, We have to reinforce the necessity of HBCUs leading the way and voting.

Greg CarrHOST
And after those successful victories, those who then found themselves on the front lines, we recognize in this moment those children, not even old enough to exercise the franchise, not even old enough to have the vote in the United States of America.
Greg CarrHOST
walking in the footsteps of their ancestors who, a generation before, Black women like Diane Nash looking backward in time from Nashville, Tennessee to Holly Springs, Mississippi to women like Idabel Wells Barnett, who with no right to vote, who with no ballot in her hand in Mississippi or Tennessee, found ways to struggle to reacquire that ballot in places like Chicago and Washington, D.C., where she helped lead the women's march.
Greg CarrHOST
And when the white women said, you must march in a segregated space, Ida Bell Wells said, OK, I'll see you at the march.
Greg CarrHOST
I'll walk wherever I please.
Marcia ChatelainGUEST
And strangely enough, it wasn't until I got to the end of the book that I realized that in choosing these women, you get a very different insight into the different types of people who contributed to the march, whether it's people who lent their celebrity power, the women who had lots of money like Mahalia Jackson who could donate.
Marcia ChatelainGUEST
There were women who provided a lot of grassroots, on-the-ground local leadership like Diane Nash and Gloria Richardson who were really...
Marcia ChatelainGUEST
And what you also realize is that some people didn't like the March on Washington, which I think is such a healthy and important view of looking at this moment that wasn't not great because people didn't like it, but people had some real issues with it.
Marcia ChatelainGUEST
And I think that's important to also surface.

The other thing that I love is that these women are of different ages and different generations, right? So Anna Hedgeman is born in 1899.
Marcia ChatelainGUEST
That is a completely different worldview than someone like Diane Nash, who I believe is born in 1938, right? Like they're in many ways shaped by different events, but when it comes to it, they're both experiencing Jim Crow segregation and they're both feeling the frustration of race and sex together.
Marcia ChatelainGUEST
Right.
Kishauna SoljourHOST
If we can just stay there, I love the way the book is focused on confronting racism, sexism simultaneously.
