About Our Guest:

M. J. O’Brien is an independent author who writes about issues related to civil rights and progressive politics. "We Shall Not Be Moved: The Jackson Woolworth's Sit-In and the Movement It Inspired" was published by the University Press of Mississippi in 2013.

O’Brien forged an interest in nonviolent social change during his undergraduate days as a Catholic seminarian at St. Mary’s Seminary and University in Catonsville, Maryland, where he studied the philosophies of Mohandas Gandhi, Martin Luther King, Jr., and Dorothy Day and where he marched, along with many of his classmates, with Caesar Chavez from Baltimore to Washington to agitate for better working conditions for migrant farm workers. Graduating in 1973, O’Brien went on to earn a second degree in Communication from the American University.
