Cincinnati civil rights pioneer Marian Spencer died July 10 at the age of 99. Spencer appeared on Cincinnati Edition in 2015 to discuss her then-new biography, Keep on Fighting: The Life and Civil Rights Legacy of Marian A. Spencer. Here, host Michael Monks revisits that conversation and speaks with former Cincinnati Mayor Mark Mallory about the loss of the city's "fearless fighter for justice."

Listen to Cincinnati Edition live at noon M-F. Audio for this segment will be uploaded after 4 p.m. ET.
