Paul Kendrick "Dope with Lime" Ep. 15

In this episode of "Dope with Lime," we speak with Paul Kendrick. Paul and his father Stephen’s recent book, Nine Days: The Race to Save Martin Luther King Jr.’s Life and Win the 1960 Election, details King’s imprisonment in October 1960 during the Atlanta sit-ins and the effects that his arrest had on the 1960 presidential election. Rev. Otis Moss Jr., who took part in the sit-ins, calls Nine Days an “urgent, relevant, and historically accurate” book. Kendrick teaches at National Louis University in Chicago, he serves as the Executive Director of Rust Belt Rising, and he served in President Barack Obama’s White House Presidential Office. Today, we will talk with him about Nine Days, Lillian Smith’s connection to the events in October 1960, and more.
