"Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world."-Nelson Mandela
Join Amy from AmyLeo.com as she speaks with social change agent Debby Irving.
Tune in for a truly transformative exploration based on some shocking historical facts (not opinions) regarding the topics of social justice and systemic inequality.
In this episode, you will learn the real history behind the G.I. Bill, social security, redlining, affirmative action, mass incarceration, and more!
How does this affect you?
With more knowledge, you will be better equipped to make a real difference in our society, instead of innocently perpetuating the status quo.
For instance, after listening to today's show, you will be better prepared to answer questions like "Why Should I Care?".
