506. Tim Wise, part 2, Corrected

506. Part 2 of our interview with Tim Wise. Tim is a civil rights activist who worked in Louisiana.
"Tim Wise, whom scholar and philosopher Cornel West calls, 'A vanilla
brother in the tradition of (abolitionist) John Brown,' is among the
nation’s most prominent antiracist essayists and educators...
After graduating from college, he threw himself into social justice
efforts full-time, as a Youth Coordinator and Associate Director of the
Louisiana Coalition Against Racism and Nazism: the largest of the many
groups organized in the early 1990s to defeat the political candidacies
of white supremacist and former Ku Klux Klan leader David Duke. From
there, he became a community organizer in New Orleans' public housing,
and a policy analyst for a children's advocacy group focused on
combating poverty and economic inequity."
