A Conversation about the Conversation

Often in times like these, you hear about the need for a “national conversation about race.” But what exactly does this conversation sound like?

This week on The Front Porch, Rick and Laurie talk to David M. Fryson, West Virginia University Vice President and Director of WVU’s Division of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, about “the conversation,” and why it’s important to have one when there isn’t a crisis.
