Our New South - Season 3 - Episode 10 - Eddie Glaude, Jr.: Mississippi and America's Soul
Scholar, author, and Princeton University professor Dr. Eddie Glaude, Jr. joins Kevin Blackistone and Robert Greene II on this episode of Our New South to explore the region as a moral metaphor for the United States. Glaude shares stories of his hardworking parents, the pivotal role Morehouse College played in his intellectual journey, and how writing about James Baldwin forced him to finally reckon with his own complex relationship to the South. Glaude is the James S. McDonnell Distinguished University Professor at Princeton University and a familiar face as a regular contributor on MSNBC's Morning Joe. He is the bestselling author of several essential texts, including Begin Again: James Baldwin's America and his latest call to action, We Are the Leaders We Have Been Looking For. He also serves on the board of Deep South Today, a non-profit network of local newsrooms dedicated to preserving investigative journalism in his home state and beyond.

Our New South - Season 3 - Episode 9 - Doug Jones: Courage and Democracy
Former Senator Doug Jones joins Kevin Blackistone and Robert Greene II for a special live event hosted by Levine Museum of the New South, where he reflects on prosecuting the 16th Street Baptist Church bombers, his historic 2017 Senate victory, and his vision for an Alabama that resembles a "crowded table" where everyone belongs. Recorded in front of a live audience at the historic Carolina Theatre in Charlotte, North Carolina, this conversation explores how the experience of growing up in a segregated steel town near Birmingham shaped Doug Jones, his political ambitions and eventual pursuit of justice. He also discusses the importance of bipartisanship and why he defines the "New South" not by its skyscrapers, but by the courageous, post-Jim Crow leaders who reached across racial lines. Currently running for governor of Alabama, Jones is the author of Bending Toward Justice, a book about his time as a lawyer and prosecutor. As U.S. Attorney, he famously prosecuted Eric Rudolph, the Centennial Olympic bomber, as well as the two Ku Klux Klan members responsible for the tragic 1963 16th Street Baptist Church bombing. He also served as a U.S. Senator and remains the last Democrat to win a statewide office in Alabama. In that role, he demonstrated a profound commitment to bipartisanship by successfully passing over two dozen pieces of legislation into law with Republican co-sponsors. Sharing his ongoing fight for equality and voting rights, he urges younger generations to get out of their political corners.

Our New South - Season 3 - Episode 8 - Sara Bradley: Top Chef, Local Table
Chef Sara Bradley joins Kevin Blackistone and Robert Greene II to discuss how her upbringing in Paducah, Kentucky, a cultural crossroads at the confluence of the Tennessee and Ohio rivers, shaped her unique approach to Southern cuisine. Bradley shares stories of growing up in a fusion of cultures, blending her mother's Eastern European Jewish heritage with her father's Appalachian roots, as well as her choice to return to "small-town" Paducah to invest in her local community. Bradley is the owner and head chef of Freight House, a seasonal restaurant in Paducah, and a James Beard Award semi-finalist. Widely recognized for her television appearances, she represented Kentucky on Bravo's Top Chef and won the Food Network's Chopped: Legends tournament. Beyond the kitchen, Bradley is deeply involved in community service and ecosystem ethics, partnering with local farmers to create sustainable supply chains, fighting food insecurity alongside organizations like the Lee Initiative, and utilizing invasive species like silver carp to protect local waterways.
