This episode is so important for its exploration of the civil rights push of the 60s and 70s and what is happening now. It is a "must see," simply marvelous tale of two sisters, Catherine Thomas, Esq, and Claudia Thomas, MD, who fought the fight, and their impressions of today's ongoing struggle for social justice. - April 2024
