In this week’s episode of Plus One with Lisa and Morgan, meet a woman who at 5 years old helped shape American History.

As a first grader, Dwania Kyles became one of the Memphis 13 whose peaceful protest led to the desegregation of Memphis public schools in 1961.

She shares the incredible story of the parents who put their children on the front lines of the civil rights movement, how her father answered a call to action from the late, Martin Luther King Jr, and why her work to change hearts continues.

Then meet her bestie, Emmy nominated multi-hyphenate, Tamara Tunie, star of Law and Order SVU and Beyond the Gates.

While advocacy is something they share, Lisa and Morgan learn what drew them to each other early on.. the multi floor parties, their love of Seal and doing anything to get they could to get people on the dance floor.

Join us from NY for an insightful conversation about friendship, activism, healing and what it means to leave the door open for the people you love. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
