This week I’m delighted to have Dr. Albert Thompson as my guest, for a conversation on race in America. He has a very interesting background, having done his undergrad at Oral Roberts University, his masters at Norwich University, and his Ph.D. at Howard University. He’s a now an instructor at Norwich, and also on the executive committee of the Anglican Church in North America.
Dr. Thompson and I talk about slavery from from its English colonial roots, the Civil War, Jim Crow, civil rights victories, and today's challenges. We discuss how history shapes identity, why progress has been real yet uneven, the impact of WWII on black human capital, post-1960s cultural shifts, talent migration, networks, and why national unity is essential for America's future in a competitive world.
