The LEADing Justice podcast is honored to welcome Charles Imohiosen, the President and Chief Executive Officer of The Andrew Goodman Foundation, established to carry on the work of Andrew Goodman. Andy was a college student when he was murdered in Mississippi by the Ku Klux Klan, along with two other young men, James Chaney and Michael Schwerner.
Their tragic deaths in 1964 contributed to the passage of the Voting Rights Act of 1965. The Andrew Goodman Foundation works to make young voices and votes a powerful force in democracy with their Vote Everywhere campaign and training youth activists and leaders. The Andrew Goodman Vote Everywhere program now operates in 26 states and Washington, D.C. and includes a network of nearly 100 campuses that enroll 1M+ students.
