Episode Synopsis

In this powerful episode of The Visionary’s Vault, we honor the courage, sacrifice, and unwavering resolve of those who marched for freedom on Bloody Sunday, March 7, 1965. I had the privilege of being in Selma, Alabama, for the 60th anniversary, standing on the sacred ground where foot soldiers risked everything to demand justice.This episode features a deeply personal reflection on sacrifice, with an original poem, The Weight of Offering, as well as an exclusive interview with Mr. Charles Mauldin, a foot soldier of the civil rights movement. Mr. Mauldin was just a teenager when he marched across the Edmund Pettus Bridge, facing state-sanctioned violence with nothing but courage and conviction. His firsthand account of that fateful day and the ongoing fight for justice is a reminder that the past is not as distant as we think.We stand on the shoulders of those who walked through fire so we could stand in the light. Their sacrifices carved out space for us. What will we do with it?This is more than history. This is a call to action.🔊 Tune in now. Reflect, remember, and most importantly, act.📅 Next episode drops March 29th. Don’t miss it.
