Where sports and politics collide, hosted by Nation magazine Sports Editor Dave Zirin
This week, we speak to Jeanne Theoharis, author of the groundbreaking new book King of the North: Martin Luther King Jr.’s Life of Struggle Outside the South. It is a deep dive into the remarkable political work that Dr. King accomplished north of the Mason-Dixon line and in southern California. Theoharis has uncovered a treasure trove of information that has gobsmacked even serious historians of King's life and legacy.
Also, I talked to Hoops Savant Arya Shirazi about why we dislike the Celtics so much and why they barely notice the Knicks exist—until now.
