Episode 2
The story of race in the United States is told by historian Dr. Tim Tyson and gospel singer Mary D. Williams in schools, churches and communities across the nation in order inspire understanding, reconciliation and justice. Tim Tyson is senior scholar at the Center for Documentary Studies at Duke University. His acclaimed book Blood Done Sign My Name provides a wide front porch view on Southern history and race in the United States. Mary D. Williams brings the gift of her voice to help change the lives of people. As an outgrowth of the Duke Lacrosse case, they use poetry and text as well as music to blanket the room and bring together a community to discuss Southern history, culture and politics. Join Richard and Judy as they explore Tim and Mary’s unique approach for allowing voices to be heard, lives to be changed and the world improved.
