Welcome to Benders of the Arc Podcast

Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. famously said that "The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice. But does it bend by itself like a rainbow coming to earth? Or does it bend when people and social movements grab hold of that arc and bend it towards justice? We will explore this and many other questions in this series and we invite you to join us on this adventure and exploration of social change.

In our first episode, Kent State Shooting Revisited, BOTA interviews Joe Lewis who was one of the students shot on May 4th, 1970 when Ohio National Guardsmen opened fire on peaceful student demonstrators. Tragically, four people were shot dead that day and 10 others were wounded. It is important that we not forget the lessons of the past.
