Charles Sumner was one of the fiercest voices for abolition and racial equality in 19th-century America, but how much do we really know about the man behind the Senate desk? Join me as I sit down with Zaakir Tameez, author of Charles Sumner: Conscience of a Nation, to explore the radical ideas, bold political stands, and enduring legacy of a leader who challenged a nation to live up to its ideals.

From Sumner’s anti-slavery crusade to his brutal caning on the Senate floor, we discuss key moments in his life, and reflect on what his moral clarity can teach us about today’s political and social struggles. Whether you're a Civil War buff or just curious about one of America's lesser-known visionaries, this conversation brings 19th-century history into sharp focus for the 21st century.
