This Is America: Byron Davis & Phil Allen, Jr. | Rich Roll Podcast

Описание: Thanks for watching! Read about Byron & Phil here: https://bit.ly/richroll526

Byron Davis is a former USA Swimming National Team member, American Record holder, UCLA All-American, and Ironman who holds the distinction of falling just three-tenths of a second shy of becoming the first African-American to make the USA Olympic Men's Swimming Team. A role model for thousands of young athletes, Byron is now a sought after speaker and consultant.

Phil Allen, Jr. is a pastor, teacher, poet, and the filmmaker behind Open Wounds, a documentary that delves into the reality of intergenerational trauma through the story of his grandfather’s murder and the police’s subsequent refusal to investigate it. He is also the founding pastor of Own Your Faith Ministries in Santa Clarita, California and a second-year Ph.D. student at Fuller Theological Seminary studying Christian ethics and theology and culture, with a focus on Dr. King’s Theology and ethics, as well as the intersection of race theory and theology.

Today Byron and Phil discuss the history of racism in America. The BLM movement as a whole. And its potential to catalyze significant structural change.
