This week on CounterSpin, we feature three archived but relevant conversations. In June 2017, we spoke with Heidi Beirich, leader of the Intelligence Project at the Southern Poverty Law Center, about the resurgence of white supremacist violence in the Trump era. We revisit some of what she had to say.

Also on the show: In June 2018, we heard from sports reporter and author Howard Bryant; he’d just written a book about African-American athletes and social justice activism, called The Heritage. We hear some of that conversation as well.
