The ARCC of Change with Donzel Leggett Donzel A. Leggett

In this episode, Donzel honors Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and his message of hope by defining it in a new way, and explaining how the ARCC vision of building a world free of racism, bigotry and hate, relies on H.O.P.E. or How Optimistic People ENDURE, by relaying his own personal experience, and discussing the NFL Playoffs and the miraculous story of Damar Hamlin.

In this episode, Donzel welcomes ARCC member and community organizer and activist Tracy Leggett to the show as they pay tribute to International Holocaust Remembrance Day by reminding us all that “Never Again” means “NEVER FORGET”, and that it is as important now more than ever, to stand up, speak out and take action against anti-semitism to achieve our vision of building a world free of racism, bigotry and hate.  

In this episode, Donzel explains why Black history is American history and shouldn’t just be acknowledged in February, but, instead, integrated into the everyday consciousness of the country because although black people played, arguably, the most central role in founding, preserving and building the USA into the richest and most powerful country in the world, they have benefited and been acknowledged the least.
