When Wink Twyman responded to Jen Richmond’s article decrying a diversity training program she participated in he didn’t know it would kickoff a letter correspondence that spanned the course of years. Letters in Black and White: A New Correspondence on Race in America is the compendium of these letters. In this episode, Wink and Jen sit down with host Connie Morgan to talk about the disputes, solutions and a-ha moments articulated in their letters.
