This is Part 3, the last part of The Case for Language Liberation episode...
 
Language liberation is an essential tool in the effort to eliminate other oppressions (racism, classism, genocide, sexism, young people's oppression, and so on). This is because language has been used to hold in place the power and structure of the dominant groups and the privileges of their status quo.
