“In the same spirit that inspired civil rights pioneers like Ella Baker, Urban Cusp has created a cutting-edge platform for thought-provoking dialogue on the most pressing social and cultural issues of our day. I am excited about its potential for challenging individuals from all walks of life to think more critically and to live their lives in service of community uplift. I believe that Urban Cusp is truly ‘on the cusp’ of something prolific!”

Van JonesA globally recognized, award-winning pioneer in human rights

WATCH: Jeff Johnson, Elsa M. and Rahiel Tesfamariam Discuss Dr. King's Legacy

What made this 26 year old preacher the right choice to lead the boycott? What about Kings upbringing made him appeal to the masses of black people or was he un-relatable? How was Corretta a strength for Martin and did the public see it that way? Read more
