S2:E150 | Capt. David Greer (Ret.) | Race

from Between the Levees Hosted by The Living History Collection

Retired Captain David Greer joins me on the show yet again - this time to discuss some of the societal issues that have plagued our American history from the beginning - and of those, primarily, race. He covers his early life growing up in rural Mississippi, the emotionally charged 1960s, desegregation, the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., an assimilation within the towing industry in the late 70s and early 80s, professional advancement of minorities over the years, broadcast news of today, and the regulatory state created over the decades to keep big business in check. If you have any comments about the topics discussed in the episode, or if you have any additional questions for Capt. Greer, please track me down on Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter (X), YouTube, Spotify, or by email at [email protected].
