Description

In a thought-provoking episode of "American Potential," host Jeff Crank delves into the life of Cade Yates, a man whose upbringing in Mississippi was deeply colored by the civil rights movement's legacy. Growing up in a town marked by historical racial violence, Cade was inspired by his mother's experiences and teachings on equality and human dignity. This foundation led him to pursue a path of service, transitioning from hands-on community work to impactful policy advocacy. Cade's narrative offers a unique look at how personal and communal histories shape one's commitment to public service and policy, illustrating the profound influence of upbringing on a lifetime dedicated to social change and justice.
