Show Notes

Research Fellow Jonathan Bean and contributors from the updated edition of "Race & Liberty in America: The Essential Reader" gathered for a rigorous and thought-provoking conversation. They tackled controversial topics such as immigration, “systemic” racism, and the politics of intermarriage. They’ll also explore how classical liberal values—championed by figures like Frederick Douglass, Zora Neale Hurston, and Louis Marshall—have long provided a blueprint for a thriving multi-ethnic society.
