49: bell hooks, Meadows, & Smollett

The #SistersInLaw meet this week to look at the recent work of the 1/6 commission and the newest revelations about Mark Meadows.  They also celebrate bell hooks and her iconic work on race, sex, and the struggle for civil rights, before examining the effect of hate crimes legislation on recent cases like the trial of Jussie Smollett and its role in protecting minority communities.
