Conversations on Race - Part 3: Kenny Leon on the Power of Story to Change the World
In this special series of At Home: Conversations on Race, we have the honor of hearing from experts and leaders to help us navigate our own path to racial justice.
Kenny Leon is a Tony Award winning Broadway and film director. His extensive work include A Raisin in the Sun,starring Denzel Washington, The Mountaintop, starring Samuel L. Jackson and Angela Bassett, and American Son, starring Kerry Washington.
Kenny shares his thoughts and experiences with us, and through it recognizes the healing that can come from this. He believes it’s never too late to do the right thing. In many cases it takes the white community saying that these issues are not just black issues because we are all connected to each other.
