Rachel Maddow
MSNBC host and executive producer of the documentary
“At a time when confrontations with the government and grassroots protests are back at the center of American political life, the civil rights movement is more than just a moral cornerstone for our country – it’s a living, breathing, practical manual for how to fight for what’s right, and win that fight, and maybe even save your own soul in the process.”
