ABOUT THE AUTHOR:

Jami Floyd is an award-winning civil rights journalist, podcaster, legal analyst, and author. Her broadcast experience spans network, cable, and local television, as well as broadcast radio and digital media. She is nationally and internationally regarded as an expert on race, law, and communications, especially where they intersect.

Jami has interviewed countless players on the American landscape but still considers her interviews with Myrlie Evers-Williams, widow of the slain civil rights leader Medgar Evers, her most meaningful.
