"These discussions help me connect the past to what's happening now — and remind me there's a blueprint for how people fought back."

"Once you started us with Eyes on the Prize, I realized what's happening now is connected to the Civil Rights Movement. I'm really grateful you're doing this, because I actually feel a little more hopeful now."
