B. Dave Walters /// Acknowledging our humanity /// Season5:E111

It's a feeling only a select population in America will face in their lifetime that warrants a discussion amongst the overall population.  

Our discussion is about the black experience in America and a self-reflection on the topic of race, racial relationships, both the advantages and disadvantages. B. Dave Walters provides excellent insight into those experiences, which deserves to be discussed with compassion now as much as ever. An episode worth listening to as it is full of great conversation and eye-opening perspectives. It acknowledges our humanity and shifts our hearts and perspectives to love and understanding.
