On the show this week, Chris Hedges talks to Michael Smith about civil rights attorney Michael Ratner’s recently published memoir, “Moving the Bar – My Life as A Radical Lawyer”. Smith was a close friend and collaborator of Ratner’s for over three decades.
Michael Ratner was one of the most important civil rights attorneys in our era. He spent his life fighting on behalf of those who state and empire sought to crush, from the leaders of the prison uprising at Attica to Muslim prisoners held in Guantanamo, to Julian Assange.
