Today is a special episode from a series I am calling "Black in America. These episodes will be exploring what being black in America can be about from the perspective of different people. I will attempt to listen and learn from my friends who have often had a very different life experience than me. Today's guest is Andre McAdory a good friend and fraternity brother. Andre has been actively seeking a dialogue with his brothers about what is happening right now in America in regards to the George Floyd protests and the greater experience of the black community. I am grateful for his efforts.
