Maya Wiley chronicles activism and family legacy in memoir

Season 2024 Episode 264 | 7m 21s

Civil rights attorney Maya Wiley grew up in a household that prioritized activism. Her parents' influence set her on a path to a lifetime of advocacy work, but sometimes left her wondering how best to fulfill the family legacy on her own terms. Wiley sat down with Geoff Bennett to discuss her new memoir, “Remember, You Are a Wiley.”
