The Tavis Smiley Show

Tavis Smiley has lived the grievances of black Americans and speaks about it from a place of truth, but for many White people the story of black disrespect is unbelievable — until there’s data proving it.

Tavis Smiley writes that we can all help our country confront hard questions if we just open up our hearts.
