How the West Was A Win (For a Minute) For African-Americans

We’ve all been hit by something hard when we didn’t expect it. We’ve come through battles of every kind - personal, professional, national - and still are fighting some of them. What have we learned from them - and what can our past battles teach us about how to live in the present moment? New episodes of BATTLETESTED air every Wednesday, wherever you get your podcasts.
