Equal Rights and Incivility
Manage episode 247520669 series 2355393
The first thing I will say about this particular interview is that it is a huge deal that the interviewee allowed me to walk through these questions with her in the first place. She is my Grandmother and approaching her to discuss this topic required a lot of vulnerability from me too, because I wasn’t sure what to expect in the slightest. I just knew that it was incredibly important for me to try to connect with her somehow around this topic. She and I are on opposite ends of the political spectrum and for most of my life, I have been afraid to talk with her about any aspect of politics, but in this interview, we do, in fact, find common ground in our discussion on what it means to be an American. Lots of common ground. I know she has strong opinions and I respect her right to have them…and that goes both ways, which is what paved the way to this interview in the first place. Enjoy, and thanks for joining me on this journey.
