Note sull'episodio
In Nic Stone’s Dear Martin, Black teen Justyce starts a journal of letters to MLK after he survives a troubling encounter with police while trying to help a friend.
Rachel and Andrea discuss the difficulty of choosing one’s own way when the odds are stacked, how the same book is read differently by different audiences, and what we loved about Justyce’s relationship with his debate partner, SJ.
