SPECIAL: Ben Jealous on Juneteenth and Trump’s Authoritarianism
This special Juneteenth Eve episode features one of our favorite people, Ben Jealous. Ben is the newly elected president of People for the American Way, the former Democratic nominee for governor of Maryland, and the youngest person ever elected to be president of the NAACP. He’s a brilliant organizer, a great mind, and has really deep knowledge of American history. It’s an honor to welcome him to the show.
