Episode 172: Congressman Clyburn Discusses the Importance of Communication in Advancing New Ideas and Political Change

Congressman James Clyburn reflects on the lessons of his early years in South Carolina, the civil rights movement, building coalitions across differences, communicating in a divided America, and making consequential decisions. 

He also discusses the historical lessons behind his book The First Eight and what today’s leaders can learn from those who came before them.

In part it’s a conversation about politics, but even more, about the enduring power of credibility, courage and communication to create change.
