Gene Stowe  joins us on A Dog Called Diversity to share his  journey with religion, writing, film making and community that includes a path through racial unity and justice. As the son of a Presbyterian preacher, Gene's narrative weaves through his experiences as a Catholic, a Muslim, and his current unaffiliated stance, offering a rare perspective on humanity as one's true community.

Gene brings to light a heartwarming saga of a small village, anchored in racial love and justice, that's remained his focus for over thirty years. This narrative defies the stereotypes and paints a history rich in acceptance and harmony. The story, powerful enough to inspire both a book and a documentary, is relayed with the warmth and wisdom that only a seasoned reporter like Gene can provide.

Gene has a continued dedication to uncovering the multifaceted history of Marvin, North Carolina. His humorous anecdotes about family life, interspersed with reflections on the village's evolution from a historical standpoint, remind us that change and growth can indeed lead to a more inclusive and just society.
