Episode description

There are very few people who intimidate me. Situations have intimidated me. Speaking engagements, without a doubt, have provided a healthy dose of intimidation. And definitely, career opportunities have knocked some fear in my nary hips. But people? nahhh. But oh contrar! During this show, that all changed. I've learned that people are people with a common need of love and God (one in the same). But when I met Dr. Sephira Shuttlesworth, my spirit was quieted, almost silenced, and I simply had no words. She had both and so much more- most overtly extraordinary black love. Dr. Shuttlesworth is spent the earlier part of her life creating history without even knowing it by desegregating her local elementary school in 1965 in Jackson, MS. She's also the wife to described in a 1961 CBS documentary as "the man most feared by Southern racists," Rev. Fred Shuttlesworth. The history books titled Rev. Shuttlesworth along with Dr. Martin Luther King, and Ralph Abernathy as the Big Three. In part I of this insightful, humbling, eye-opening conversation, Dr. Sephira Shuttlesworth says "God prepares us for what he has for us." She shares the realities and some intimate moments of her life with the civil rights icon Fred Shuttlesworth in what she described as an explosion and an extraordinary love.
