In this episode, Ian and Nique are joined by Bob Woodson, president of the Woodson Center and prolific champion for upward mobility, to discuss an “inspirational and aspirational” message Bob is crafting through the 1776 Unites project. Amid a popular narrative of despair and victimhood around race in America, 1776 Unites celebrates America’s long legacy of black excellence and offers a “look forward” to how all Americans can become agents of their uplift. 1776 Unites does not discount or ignore a history of injustice against black Americans, but rather chooses to focus on what we can do to generate an environment of upward mobility for future generations. Ian and Nique speak with Bob about his ten “Woodson Principles” for uplift, and they discuss how the core principles upon which America was founded will play an integral role in the movement of our nation toward greater equality and opportunity.
