Given the current political climate, there couldn\u2019t be a better time to hear from Civil Rights-era heroes who shaped the history of our nation. Over the next two months, a new podcast called \u201cVoices of the Movement,\u201d<\/a> by the Washington Post and Johnathan Capeheart of \"Cape Up,\"<\/a> gives listeners a chance to do so. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cSome of them are names you know, some aren\u2019t\u2014but all of them have stories that need to be told while they’re still here to tell them,\u201d the website says of the voices to be heard on the series. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The first episode, \u201cThe Day Martin Luther King<\/a> Died,\u201d debuted yesterday (April 4) and recreates the timeline of MLK\u2019s assassination through interviews with people who knew him. (A transcript of the broadcast recap can be read here<\/a>.) Upcoming episodes include the story of Bloody Sunday <\/a>and what today\u2019s pilgrammage to the Edmund Puttus Bridge feels like, the Birmingham Campaign <\/a>and how Clarence Jones<\/a> smuggled out scraps of paper from jail that would later beome Dr. King\u2019s \u201cLetter from a Birmingham Jail<\/a>,\u201d and stories from people who were \u201cstripped of their innocence\u201d as children growing up in the movement.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

In an emailed announcement, Capeheart said, \u201cI\u2019ve been fortunate to interview these figures and learn more about the events that turned ordinary citizens into extraordinary people.\u201d<\/p>\n
