Such an important tour - Eric really knows his stuff—he even has first-hand experience with a lot of what he talks about. He's also a great storyteller, which made the tour super engaging. I learned so much and found the whole thing really interesting. Some of the history is tough, but Eric does a great job showing why it matters and why we should care. Highly recommend!
