The Memphis Five and the National Civil Rights Museum

In this episode, we were joined by three Racial Healing Ambassadors, Soyini Verrett, Deirdre Kennedy & the Rev. Kelly Perotti who reflected on their experiences after recently visiting the National Civil Rights Museum in Memphis, Tennessee. Our guests along with our producer, Ms. Shemara Fontes and Rev. Bushey spent the day in Memphis recently visiting the museum, the remains of Clayborn Temple, and the I Am A Man Plaza. Our trained Racial Healing Ambassadors serve our local community to advocate for and promote racial equity and healing.

The trip and this episode were made possible by the YWCA Kankakee and The Grow Center in Bourbonnais.
