Serial Entrepreneur to Civil Rights Financier: Hero‘s Hero

December 11, 2021

In this episode we highlight the life of AG Gaston a hero in Alabama and a person worthy of admiration beyond. We celebrate his accomplishments in business, philanthropy and civil rights. Gaston over his lifetime connected with many great black figures such as Booker T. Washington (someone he idolized), Martin Luther King, Jr, Mary Macloud Bethune, Colin Powell and others.   He was a staple in Alabama particularly in Birmingham and if you wanted to do something progressive or business related in Alabama then you went to visit Gaston.



We also discussed the case of Carl Cavalier the Louisiana State trooper who blew the whistle on the conduct of his fellow officers.  As alway we played the game, "Guess what race, guess what gender".
