That time it got really real on CSPAN: Challenging a racist mindset

You probably missed it, but it was great television.

Last summer a C-SPAN caller asked Heather McGhee, the president of Demos, a progressive public policy organization that advocates for equality, how to stop being prejudiced.

How many of us could be so brave to talk about something about ourselves that bothers us and ask for help with it in such a public way?



The Washington Post talked to Ms. McGhee about it.

This summer Garry Civitello called back to share how that exchange with Ms. McGhee changed him.

There's more conversation about the conversation on Upworthy.
