Description:

We are living in a world of almost unparalleled separation. People are no longer disagreeing, but are instead disavowing each other's rights to an opinion. What is driving this polarization, and how can we overcome it? Join Andy Shallal and author Howard Ross for a conversation on Ross's important new book "Our Search for Belonging: How Our Need to Connect is Tearing Us Apart." 

Howard Ross is a lifelong social justice advocate, and the Founding Partner of Cook Ross, Inc. He is the author of Reinventing Diversity: Transforming Organizational Community to Strengthen People, Purpose and Performance, and the Washington Post best seller, Everyday Bias: Identifying and Navigating Unconscious Judgments in Our Daily Lives.

Andy Shallal is an artist and social entrepreneur. He is the founder of Busboys and Poets, a restaurant that strives to create an environment where racial and cultural connections are consciously uplifted.
