Graves has been around famous civil rights leaders from a young age, and it is what set him on the trajectory to dedicate his life to the cause. In this episode, Chairman Graves discusses how his work with Reverend Jesse Jackson has changed his life, and how the work he is doing today with Rainbow PUSH plays a role in dismantling institutional racism.
