Host who is your candidate . Spee3 i would like to hear candidates and what they have to say. If people want to go hear them. I think it is wrong for people to massively try to keep people from going in and hearing them or who shout them down. If they dont agree, let them protest outside. But to infiltrate and cause it for the people who want to be involved, i i dont think it is a democracy in action. Host thank you maam. Guest most americans actually prefer independents and members of their own party. We found most americans would rather have a colleague at work who is an independent rather than a colleague who is a member of their party who agrees with them on politics. So americans are scared to even associate with members of their party because they fear the aggression and the conflict. I think thats a real concern among a lot of americans who in fact preferred independents over their own party. Host the next call is from sue from iowa. Caller okay, my question is, concerned it has
Now, however, she was able to bring me and little teddy to new york where we all entered her childhood brooklyn home. Little teddys visit was shortlived, however. Louis cruel divorce agreement stipulated that i would live with my mother while teddy lived with our father. But my mother and i were soon to move even farther away. Because of her cafe society success, lena had received an offer from hollywood not for the movies, but from a new nightclub called the little trock. Once again, she was an overnight sensation. One man who came night after night was mgms roger eden, the man who discovered judy garland. Talent and beauty won lena a longterm hollywood contract, the first in hollywood for a black performer. But it might not have happened without world war ii. Lena arrived in hollywood the same time that walter white and the naacp and 1940 republican president ial candidate Wendell Willkie began their campaign with hollywood producers to eliminate degrading, racist stereotypes of peop
Father was an educator and when i was born, he was president of ford Valley State College in southern georgia. My mother had been a classroom teacher and then went back to that and stopped again over the course of my early life. But they were the prime influences as parents are with all children. They set very high standards for their children but had a soft hand. It wasnt that you must do this but we expect you to do this. And my father, who had spent a great deal of his career researching the development of leadership figures, had always argued that, if you had an advantage over the massive black people, if you had an education, if you had a good job, then you had some responsibility to use that education and that position to help those less fortunate than you. And so my older sister and my younger brother and i all absorbed these messages from our parents. And never in a hectoring way. But always, this is your responsibility and youve got to do it. And i hope the three of us took th
And then beyond that, there are themes that emerge about the importance of National Causes that catalyze people to see themselves as leaders. Catalysts like the brown decision itself, which black leaders were so heavily involved. And then of course the Civil Rights Movement that generated grassroots leaders who came about and then became leaders for the rest of their lives. So the book has those major themes and i think thats exactly what emerges from the interviews and thats why i wrote the book, to call attention to these themes. But you can also just go to the website and find what you want in these interviews. Phyllis leffler, thank you very much. Its a pleasure. Id like to begin by asking you to recollect as best you can what you think of as being the most important early influences on your own life.
