Speaker 5: rights activist who was a politician, professor, and poet, but

72
00:04:06,600 --> 00:04:08,920
Speaker 5: most importantly a community organizer.

73
00:04:09,320 --> 00:04:12,320

74
00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:15,559
Speaker 6: gap within the community as it relates to community engagement,

75
00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:19,840
Speaker 6: what organizing and activism really look like. And so we,

76
00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:23,880

77
00:04:23,960 --> 00:04:27,000

Speaker 7: It's hard to do any sort of organizing in Boston

82
00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:44,039
Speaker 7: and not know who mel King is. He's an inspiration

83
00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:47,200
Speaker 7: and somebody that I look up to, and I hope that,

84
00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:50,760
