Episode description

O.T. Wells II J.D., the Chief Procurement Officer for UCLA affirmed the resilience of Black people. His family knows the great Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. quite well, and he shared some insider stories about the Reverend. O.T. sees pockets of bright spots, and he shared the secret ingredient every Black person in America needs: to be cheered among their peers, to meet Black legends face to face, and to learn about their real history.

"Black Lives Matter is a statement. And the movement was just to show that Black lives do matter, because if you look at what's happening, it doesn't seem like they do. Stark contrast, 14,000 people had been arrested through Black Lives Matter, only 108 had been arrested for the Capitol protest. If that was a Black Lives Matter protest, I think most of those people would not be alive today." - O.T. Wells II J.D.
