Retired professor of political science Howard Ball talks about his recent memoir Taking the Fight South: Chronicle of a Jew’s Battle for Civil Rights in America and about the ongoing battles for Black lives in the face of police violence. Professor Ball draws on the work of W.E.B. Du Bois and James Baldwin as well as his own experiences in the South in the 1970s and 1980s to give context and added urgency to the changes America is calling for now.
