You know him as Concrete Mama’s resident historian, but this week, we journey down the winding road of Steven “Red” Edwards’ life, painting a vivid picture of a man who’s both a compassionate leader on the inside and a beloved family man on the outside. We’ll hear him sit down with Vik to discuss their parallel journeys with addiction, and an eye-opening conversation with Demar further demonstrates the healing power of true vulnerability.
Demar swaps in for Red on today’s History Report: The Black Prisoners’ Forum Unlimited, 1970s
