It's Democratic National Convention week and today's episode features two distinguished Black female congressional leaders who are currently serving as surrogates for the Biden/Harris campaign. First you'll hear from Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee, who thinks that, in light of Senator Kamala Harris' appointment as Biden's running mate, this is an important moment to understand the history of Black women in the United States. We also hear from Congresswoman Terri Sewell who pulls no punches when discussing what's at stake on the ballot: our very lives. She also shares what she thinks of Speaker Nancy Pelosi calling the House back in session to save the United States Postal Service.
