Progressive Voices

Next time on State of Belief: Dr. Robert P. Jones, CEO of the Public Religion Research Institute. We’ll be talking about his important new book, coming September 5th, The Hidden Roots of White Supremacy and the Path to a Shared American Future. Robby traces those roots back to the birth of our nation, and shows how it was manifest even before the sin of slavery became a cornerstone for the growing nation’s prosperity. Going beyond history and analysis, he lays out concrete examples for communities coming together, at last, to move beyond these foundational tensions and dehumanizing impulses.
