Exploring the Troubling Legacy of RFK Jr.

Van Lathan and Rachel Lindsay start the episode with some updates from the Olympics, including the disappointment of Sha’Carri Richardson’s silver placement in the 100-meter race (06:02), the pole vaulter whose legs and manhood knocked him out of the competition (21:52), and a special proposal for a Chinese gold winner (27:50). Then, they talk about the tragedy coming from the U.K. (33:05) and touch a bit on the bizarre RFK Jr. bear story (41:25 ). Later, Mike Africa Jr. joins us to talk about his new book, ‘On a Move: Philadelphia's Notorious Bombing and a Native Son's Lifelong Battle for Justice’ and the importance of MOVE’s legacy (1:05:45).
