Dr Matt Harris from Colorado State University-Pueblo has an amazing book called 2nd Class Saints. It’s about the race ban from World War 2 to the present. It’s a best seller and sold out in about a month! I think it will win book of the year! We’ll discuss his cutting-edge scholarship, how he got access to some amazing diaries and meeting minutes, and the amazing discoveries that help describe the removal of the race ban in June 1978. We’ll dive in deep! Check out our conversation…
