Craig Hodges
It’s time America finally catches up to Craig Hodges. And now, more than ever, is the time to listen. The NBA legend and political activist shares his experience of growing up in the civil rights movement and protesting the tragic death of his friend due to police brutality during their time at Long Beach State. He looks back on the progressive ideas he suggested during his two championship seasons with the Chicago Bulls alongside Michael Jordan, that were labeled as “militant,” and the White House visit that reportedly led to being blackballed from the NBA. Then, Craig expresses his hope for future generations in this country with today’s demonstrations and revolutionary demands for change in mind. This episode and series supports FeedingAmerica.org.
