Before hitting the road to Selma, former NAACP GA leader Gerald Griggs sounds off

Gerald Griggs, Atlanta-based attorney, advocate and activist - and former NAACP Georgia chapter President, joined me Friday morning to weigh in on the landscape in a post-'Callais' U.S. and Georgia.

He and I also previewed what to expect in Selma on Saturday.
