In this special episode of The Georgia Politics Podcast, we are honored to welcome Atlanta City Councilman Michael Julian Bond for an in-depth discussion about the history, legacy, and ongoing significance of Martin Luther King Jr. Day. As the son of civil rights leader Julian Bond and a dedicated public servant, Councilman Bond offers a unique and personal perspective on the life and work of Dr. King.
Councilman Bond shares stories from his own experiences growing up in the shadow of the civil rights movement and sheds light on the role Atlanta has played—and continues to play—in keeping Dr. King's dream alive.
Through thoughtful conversation, we discuss how MLK Day is an opportunity to reflect on our collective progress, acknowledge the challenges that remain, and recommit ourselves to the principles of equality, justice, and service to others.
Join us as we celebrate the legacy of one of history's most transformative figures and explore how his vision continues to shape Georgia and the world today. Whether you're a lifelong admirer of Dr. King or learning about his impact for the first time, this episode offers valuable insights and inspiration for all.
