It seems that Jackson, Mississippi, has been in the news—for decades. For some, it’s a city in the deep South that represents a turning point in the Civil Rights movement.
That was the 60s. Fast forward, and Jackson’s wounds have reopened—exposing a complicated past and problems of the present. But there are leaders—Christian leaders—who see this moment as an opportunity. That hope can follow truth. When problems are exposed, healing can begin. Joe Watkins interviews Representative Crudup, a lifelong resident of Jackson to talk about what he’s been doing outside of politics, as a quiet change-maker in the city he loves.
