This episode features James L. Farmer, Jr. (also appearing in episode 75, and portrayed as the youngest member of the Wiley College debate team in the film, "The Great Debaters"), co-founder of CORE in a November 13,1992 appearance on the show "Open Mind". In this episode, he discusses the topic of his role and reflections on the civil rights movement in the 1950s and 60s, as well as his views on where it all stood in the early to mid-1990s. Farmer shares some interesting opinions in this episode, and it's always interesting to me to hear members of previous generations take a look at what they feel they were successful in accomplishing, as well as some of the shortcomings that need to still be addressed. This episode is exactly that, and I wanted to share it with the BMA audience. Peace.
