I was invited to deliver a keynote address during the Summer Training Institute, and this trip would mark a decade almost to the day that I was last at Knoxville with my CDF family and our ancestors knew that my soul needed the food that could only be prepared by social justice warriors working to defend democracy by supporting students in schools. This special episode of the Teach the Babies Podcast features the keynote address that I delivered at this year's conference. I hope, if nothing else, you can feel a fraction of the energy that was palpable to me both then and now. I also hope that you are inspired to learn more about the legacies of the Children’s Defense Fund, Freedom Schools, the indomitable Marian Wright Edelman and the team's quarterback at present, Reverend Dr. Starsky Wilson.
