It's 50 short minutes with Angela Glover Blackwell but the issues she brings up -- race and poverty and creating spaces for conversation and demonstrating change -- take much more than 50 minutes.  We can use the session space -- Conversation with Angela Glover Blackwell -- to keep asking questions and try and move the conversation into Next Actions.
