Ep. 102 Have We Really Changed? Love, Race, and the Prejudice We Still Refuse to Face
from Love and Compassion with Gissele · host Gissele Taraba
What happens when love challenges the prejudices of an entire family, and what can that teach us about the world we live in today? In this powerful conversation, Annie Waxman shares her experience of facing intense anti-Black racism from her family in the 1960s after falling in love with a Black man, and reflects on the pain, courage, and forgiveness that shaped her journey. Together, we explore what happens when societies choose to "let things lie," why confronting difficult truths matters, and whether we have truly moved forward on race relations, or whether history still has lessons we have yet to learn.
