I learned today that radical lawyer and long-time activist Charles Roach passed away yesterday at the age of 79. My condolences to his family and friends. It is perhaps fitting that the final audio clip that I have to upload to the site from my interview with Charles those many years ago contains his response to my question about what advice he would give to youth who are committed to creating social change. I have included that below. RIP, Charles.
