Hope Is a Discipline: Angela Glover Blackwell on Democracy, Equity, and Human Flourishing
About this episode
Angela Glover Blackwell discusses her insights on democracy, equity, and the importance of hope as a discipline.
Angela Glover Blackwell has spent more than 50 years working at the intersection of racial equity, housing, transportation, and civic life — and she has arrived at a definition of democracy that most politicians have never considered: a mutually accountable system of co-governance in service of human flourishing. The founder of PolicyLink and host of Reimagining Democracy for a Good Life joins Care More Be Better to share what she learned growing up in segregated St. Louis, why the curb cut effect proves that investing in those left behind benefits everyone, and why hope — as Mariame Kaba taught her — is not a feeling but a discipline.
