On Episode 4, Part 1, Robert “Bob” Brown, a former advisor to Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., Nelson Mandela and President Richard Nixon, sits down with host Brian Tierney to discuss the hard truths that he learned growing up in the segregated South, his time with Dr. King on the front lines of the civil rights movement and what it took to make Coretta Scott King’s first flight to South Africa to meet Mrs. Mandela possible. Details of this trip to South Africa are best heard directly from Bob. He puts the art of great storytelling on display as he takes listeners with him to visit Nelson Mandela in jail, becoming one of the first non-family members to visit Mandela in prison—a feat that, in the moment, Bob feared he might not live to share.

Bob’s memoir, “You Can’t Go Wrong Doing Right: How a Child of Poverty Rose to the White House and Helped Change the World,” is available now on Amazon.com, Barnesandnoble.com and Booksamillion.com. Learn more about Bob at Bobbrownspeaks.com.
