On today’s show, we’re joined by Lateefah Simon, who announced her election campaign for the 12th Congressional District seat that is being vacated by Barbara Lee. Lateefah Simon is a 25-year veteran organizer and nationally recognized advocate for civil rights and social justice. In 2016 – driven into politics by the tragic murder of Oscar Grant – Lateefah was elected to the BART Board of Directors, and has served there since. She was also appointed in 2020 as a senior advisor on police reform for California Governor Gavin Newsom.
Then, we speak with David Walker, award-winning comic book writer, filmmaker, journalist, and educator to discuss his latest graphic novel The Black Panther Party: A Graphic Novel History (Art by Marcus Kwame Anderson).
