In a time where racial tensions are at a high, and civil unrest as a reaction to the murder of George Floyd stings the nation as an open wound, a return to our racial climax following the American Civil War and promotion of peace, unity, healing, and understanding is more than called for. 

Join Nick this week, and his guest Mrs. Georgia Wright-Benton, an African American member of the United Daughters of The Confederacy, as they explore race relations, the Civil Rights Movement, and healing. Mrs. Wright-Benton will detail the service of her Great Grandfather, a Black Confederate Soldier who is one of the only documented men of color in either Army to serve in both theaters of the war and three branches of service. Additionally, she will contextualize the Black Lives Matter movement and define what we- as a nation- need to do to overcome the evils of racism, bigotry, and discrimination.
