Summary
Thom revisits the social movement that led to The Enlightenment and eventually culminated in the American Revolution and formation of The Constitution. Why conservatives perpetuate a world view of punishment and policing while progressives promote the idea of basic human good.
A pro-segregation caller sparks a conversation on why the vestiges of the civil war linger and Trump's refueling of racism has brought on the current outcry for reform.
For the Book Club Thom reads from Birthright Citizens: A History of Race and Rights in Antebellum America by Martha S. Jones, and Original Wisdom: Stories of an Ancient Way of Knowing by Robert Wolff.
