Black History Month Ep. 4 - Mr. Watkins, Freedom Rider

Hezekiah Watkins, a life long Jackson, Mississippi resident and civil rights activist shares his incredible story as the youngest Freedom Rider in Jackson's history. As a 13 years boy he was arrested and placed on death row. His crime....well that's why you're here. Tell us what you think.

At the time of the interview, this was 2015, he was looking for someone to help him write his story. While we were not able to hook him up with any one he did fortunately get the book written. Check it out here.
