I had the pleasure and privilege of interviewing Clarence Jones for a NY1 profile in 2008. In 2013, it was an honor to share the stage at the 92nd St. Y and moderate a conversation with Clarence, Harry Belafonte and Julian Bond to commemorate 50 years since the 1963 March on Washington. And it was fascinating to speak with him this week, 60 years since the March and Dr. King’s “I Have A Dream” speech, a speech Clarence helped write. He is one of the most important unsung heroes of the civil rights movement, a behind the scenes mover and shaker as attorney, advisor and occasional speechwriter for Dr. King. Now 92 years old, he is one of the last living lions of the civil rights movement.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
