Description

Today we’re joined by Marc Scott and David Levitt, who discuss their unique perspectives on race and integration in America, as well as racial trauma and healing.

Marc Scott developed and ran a drug and alcohol recovery home for 28 years — one of the first of its kind. His parents had a kind of a mixed marriage, since while his mother was mostly white and appeared to be Caucasian, in the 1950s the “one drop” rule subjected both her and her black husband to strict segregation, especially in the South.

Dr. David Levitt, a computer scientist and technology innovator, was the son of 1960s civil rights activists. In the 50s, the marriage of his white father and black mother had been illegal in 28 states. Growing up, Mark and David often found themselves the only black or mixed person in sight.

Mark and David discuss their unique experiences and how race has affected their lives — from racial trauma and healing to the tremendous, joyous changes happening today.
