Today, we're honored to present an episode of a wonderful new podcast -- "A Breach Repairer's Song," hosted by Yara Allen and Rev. William Barber.

A Breach Repairer's Song is an immersive series soundtracking the marriage between music as an art form and music as a tool for activism. Through interview, retrospection, and the dissection of one song per episode, this show explores the deep roots music and the pursuit of justice and equity have in America's history—and how song can move us to action. Series guests include musicians, artists and activists: Joan Baez, Cornell West, and Dr Ibram X. Kendi.

Today, we're bringing you a conversation with the legendary musician and composer Terrance Blanchard.
