Скачать или смотреть Dr. Marion Orr on the Hidden Legacy of Charles C. Diggs Jr.

A lot of us learned about Rosa, Malcolm, King… but not Charles C. Diggs Jr. — and that’s a problem. In this episode of Unsolicited Perspectives with Bruce Anthony, we sit down with Dr. Marion Orr, author of House of Diggs, to unpack the life of the man who helped found the Congressional Black Caucus, showed up at the Emmett Till trial when no other federal official did, fought for DC home rule, and pushed the U.S. toward an anti-apartheid stance when presidents were still cozy with South Africa. This is Black political history at work — the kind that explains how we got Black flight attendants, Black committee chairs, and Black mayors in the nation’s capital.

Dr. Orr breaks down Diggs’ journey from Detroit to Congress, why representation on TV mattered to him as a kid, how HBCU professors shaped a whole generation of Black political scientists, and yes — we even talk about the scandal that ended Diggs’ career and why it shouldn’t erase his legacy.

If you’re into civil rights, congressional power, Black leadership, or you’ve ever said “how did I NEVER learn this?” — this episode is for you.
