#17 Lessons from the 60s (Part II) with Professor Victor Goode
Update: 2020-08-09
Description
In part two of this special two-part series, I continue my conversation with CUNY Law Professor Victor Goode about the 1960s Civil Rights movement's connection to today. In this episode we discuss:
- why structural racism is cloistered from legal challenges against it;
- how black wealth was significantly curtailed in the 2008 Great Recession;
- how the National Conference for Black Lawyers became the Legal Arm of the Movement for Black Liberation;
- how the FBI used the Counter-Intelligence Program to blunt the Civil Rights movement and how a similar program is in effect today;
- how accusations of Communism against Civil Rights advocates have been a potent weapon against progress;
- the dangers of ideology;
- our shadow government.
