Du Bois, Racism, & Hope with Paul Deaderick
from Crossing Over Podcast · host Ben Edwards
Paul Deaderick is an 84 year old man I met while leading a book study on The Souls of Black Folk by W.E.B. Du Bois. Listening to his stories during those 6 weeks opened my eyes to our country’s racial struggles in ways that have helped me to dive deeper into the conversation. I invite you to join me as I listen once again to stories about his life as well as his words of wisdom learned through struggle, perseverance, and a never ending sense of hope that often characterizes the African American voice during the Civil Rights Movement.
