Congrats Class of 2021- Laz Meiman

Long-time Connectopod contributor and valedictorian Laz Meiman graduated Grover Cleveland Humanities magnet with High Honors class of 2021. He has been with us since the beginning, as reporter, teacher, producer and supporter.
An independent thinker who wants to turn his perceptive talents to government, Laz feels he can be a proponent of positive change. His passion for history has inspired some great Connectopod episodes over the years. Congrats to Laz and good luck at UCSC!
In this repost of a 2020 interview, Laz covers Fred Hampton and the Rainbow coalition, high school political internships, social justice leadership, the college application process, and cutting up an ox.

We are so proud of you, Laz! Congratulations!
