Ep. 253: Is the climate crisis a civil rights issue for believers? | Gerald Durley

Steve travels to Atlanta and meets with Rev. Dr. Gerald Durley, a "foot soldier" in the American Civil Rights movement of the 1960s--and involved now in climate crisis activism as an extension of his faith and civil rights work.

The Rev. Dr. Gerald L. Durley was a student leader in the American Civil Rights Movement of the 1960s. He served in the U.S. Peace Corp in Nigeria before moving to Switzerland, where he earned a postgraduate degree and played basketball for a National Swiss team. He then went on to earn a Master of Divinity from Howard University and served for 25 years as pastor of Providence Missionary Baptist Church. He published his memoir, I am amazed!: reflections on an awe-inspired life, in 2014.
