In the first chapter of Dialogues on Race, we read several excerpts from this article by Bryan Stevenson https://www.themarshallproject.org/2015/06/24/bryan-stevenson-on-charleston-and-our-real-problem-with-race which is an interview following the 2015 Charleston church massacre. Join me in reading the full article, which is as relevant today as it was 5 years ago.
7/8/20 Empathy
This week, let's explore the topic of empathy by listening to Finding Fred Episode 1: Genius of Empathy
This is the first episode of a podcast series called Finding Fred.
As described on fatherly.com:
"Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood was not a simple show. And Fred Rogers was not a simple man. He was radical. Spiritual. Revolutionary. Maybe even subversive. On Finding Fred, Carvell Wallace, the best selling author of The Sixth Man, dives into the work of an idiosyncratic and profound thinker, asking what a beloved children’s show host can teach us about surviving and thriving in today’s chaotic world."
If you like the first episode, listen to the whole series; it is a beautiful piece!
