Bill has such a great ability to reflect and then explain his experiences, relating them to all of us. My wife and really benefited from listening to this. We are whites, always trying to learn and to grow better–also to help change the world as Bill does. The interviewer asked excellent questions, bringing out the story of one man’s world, which is also the world of millions of others.
Thank you both!
