In this segment of By Any Means Necessary, host Jacquie Luqman and producer Wyatt Reed are joined by Hy Thurman, co-founder of the Young Patriots and the original Rainbow Coalition, to discuss his new book, “Revolutionary Hillbilly,” his radicalization into antiracism and anticapitalism as a poor white sharecropper from Tennessee who became co-founder of the Young Patriots in Chicago, and why the Rainbow Coalition represented such a threat to the power structure in Chicago and beyond.
