I saw a video of a young woman engaging a senior citizen over her desire to tear down a statue; both African-American. The woman was irate and near the point of violence. The man of a certain age was calm, resolute and determined to have a civil discourse. As I watched it all play out, I wondered, how can society ever have civil discussions and peaceful resolutions when one side refuses to hear the other? I don’t have all the answers but, I do offer a few suggestions in this episode.  Articles and resources cited in this podcast can be found here: https://bit.ly/thingsIthinkabout1   Special thanks to my sponsor - Black History Quiz! Subscribe to the Black History Quiz newsletter now! https://www.getrevue.co/profile/bhq/--- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/jim-stroud2/messageSupport this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/jim-stroud2/support
