In our inaugural episode, Xernona Clayton shares personal recollections (and even funny stories) about Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., her upbringing sheltered from prejudice in Muskogee, OK—less than 50 miles from Tulsa, where the Greenwood Massacre took place just a decade earlier—and how current events of the time inspired her to move to Atlanta to join Dr. King in the fight for Civil Rights.

For more, don’t miss Xernona Clayton: A Life in Black & White, airing on Brown Sugar, featuring the largest catalog of classic Black cinema. Go to brownsugar.com.
