A deeply personal struggle for Black liberation | The Marc Steiner Show

Dan Berger's book, Stayed on Freedom: the Long History of Black Power Through One Family's Journey, tells the story about the fight against racism in all its blatant and hideous forms. It's about spiritual quests, and the work of real organizing and what can be created through it. It's a story of love, of political struggle in some of the darkest, most terrifying corners of the civil rights movement.

Marc Steiner interviews the book's author, Dan Berger, along with Dr. Zoharah Simmons and Michael Simmons, whose stories are featured in Stayed on Freedom. Dr. Zoharah Simmons, a veteran of SNCC and of the Black Power Anti-Women's Movement in the 1960s, is a professor emerita from University of Florida. Michael Simmons has been a domestic international human rights activist for 60 years with SNCC, and is the director of European Programs with the American Friends Service Committee.
