The Legacy of Empowering Minds: A Conversation with Dr. Bernard Watson

  • Resumen

  • In this inspiring episode of The Legacy Exchange, hosts Taylor and George sit down with Dr. Bernie Watson, a personal hero to George and a remarkable figure in education and public service. Growing up in Gary, Indiana, Bernie began working in the mines at 16 to support his family while pursuing his education. A passionate advocate for change, he found himself in “good trouble” as a student and later returned to Roosevelt High School, where he quickly rose from teacher to principal in just five years.

    Join us as we explore Bernie’s diverse career, including roles as deputy superintendent, presidential commissioner under three presidents, and president and CEO of The William Penn Foundation. He is also the author of the memoir “Colored, Negro, Black: Chasing the American Dream,” which reflects his journey and insights on the power of education.


    Bernie’s love for teaching is evident, having inspired countless students at institutions like Roosevelt, Penn, and the University of Chicago. Tune in to learn how he has dedicated his life to empowering generations and fostering better decision-making through education.
