The Disappearing of Sister Koko with Prof. D. Boose - A Freedom Fighter Next Door

Who is Sister Koko? What roles has she played in Black freedom struggles? Why do many people–even in DC–not know about her? Join Prof. D. Boose as we meet Sister Koko, learn about events during her childhood in Newport News, Virginia, that began her community organizing work, and start to explore her experiences as a Black freedom fighter and what we risk losing if her stories disappear.

Please be advised that this episode includes descriptions and experiences of state violence, lynching, and rape. It also includes brief profanity. Listener discretion is advised.
