What Frederick Douglass Might Say to Us Today

The wisdom of leaders like 19th-century abolitionist Frederick Douglass is critical at this moment in America’s history. The Rev. Dean Nelson, the executive director of Human Coalition Action and chairman of the Frederick Douglass Foundation, joins the show to explain what Douglass’ message to America might be if he were with us today. Nelson also explains that to end racism in America, society as a whole must place a value on all human life, whether that be babies in the womb or grown men like George Floyd. We also read your letters to the editor and share a good news story about people across the nation who are helping African American entrepreneurs rebuild destroyed businesses in the wake of riots after Floyd's death.
