In this episode, Andrew and Dr. Val are joined by Logan Tilton, a history student at North Carolina Central University and one of the Levine Museum of the New South’s fellowship students. Together, they reflect on what it means to learn history not as a list of dates and names, but as a living story shaped by community, struggle, resilience, and collective memory.Drawing from a powerful fellowship trip to Montgomery and Selma, Logan shares how visiting the Equal Justice Initiative sites and hearing directly from a Selma foot soldier deepened her understanding of history, accountability, and the ongoing connections between past and present. This conversation explores the emotional weight of historical truth, the importance of learning from young people, and the role community plays in sustaining hope.This episode reminds us that history is not over. The patterns of inequality, exclusion, and violence that shaped the past are still with us. But so are the patterns of resistance, courage, care, and collective action. Logan’s reflections offer a powerful reminder that when young people are trusted with truth, they can carry it forward with clarity, insight, and hope.LINKSThe Levine Museum of The New SouthThe Levine Museum's Catalyst Fellowship ProgramThe Equal Justice Initiative's Legacy SitesFoot Soldier Park - Selma, ALBryan StevensonJust Mercy: A Story of Justice and Redemption - by Bryan StevensonS11E15 – Unearthing Joy: Gholdy Muhammad on Teaching with LoveThe Old South: A Psychohistory - by Earl E.
