Constitutional Limits, Modern Segregation Trends

The original intent of the U.S. Constitution as a restriction on federal power is contrasted with modern federal overreach. The discussion touches on the reversal of Roe v. Wade and the return of certain issues to state jurisdiction. A shift in modern activism is noted, where some groups now advocate for voluntary segregation in university dormitories, which the hosts describe as a perversion of the "separate but equal" doctrine.

Hillside High School, Durham NC Educational History

Mo shares his personal history growing up in Durham, North Carolina, and his desire to attend the historically black Hillside High School. He explains the value of "incubation" within one's own culture during formative years. His father, an educator who worked at behavioral schools, ultimately sent him to a more integrated school because the middle-class foundation of Hillside had been gutted by shifting demographics.
