  • Social Transformation: The Evolving Challenge of Racial Inequality
    May 31 2025
    This podcast offers insights into evolving efforts to address racial inequality in the US, comparing sixty years ago (during the Civil Rights era) to the present day. Dr. June Thomas, who has written about her family’s lived experiences during the civil rights era, established an academic career based on training urban planners who were socially aware and capable of supporting community development, and she has written extensively about these topics and the need for racial and social justice in U.S. cities. In a question-and-answer discussion with interviewers Dr. Chitra Golestani (Wilmette Institute Associate Director) and Asia Robinson from North Carolina Central University, she considers how the challenge of racial inequality has evolved over the last decades, and how Bahá’í teachings offer important insights into possible strategies for the present and the future.
