Road to Progress w/ Carol Birth - Pt. II

October 11, 2020 • Dan Bingaman & Jon Lee • Season 2 • Episode 7

This is Part II of a conversation we were fortunate to have with Carol Birth, the director of adult education at Phillips Community College in Helena-West Helena, Arkansas. In this episode, we discuss themes explored in HBO's hit television series, Watchmen, and its role in the ongoing conversation surrounding race and policing in America. We also share some pieces of culture that have been keeping us sane during this tumultuous time in our country.
