Built the Movement. Did It Build Power? | ft. Deric Gilliard
Did the Civil Rights Movement actually redistribute power in America — or just expand access without changing who holds it?
In this episode of We Vote Too, we sit down with author, historian, and former federal advisor Deric Gilliard to break down the real impact of the Civil Rights Movement and what it means for democracy today.
From the Freedom Riders to federal policy, this conversation connects history to the present — exploring how movements shape institutions, and whether those institutions truly serve the people.
