When you watch the mass media channels, to me, it seems like they just bring in anybody to say a few words on the topic of the day. Some of these people are “experts” in their fields. Many are not. One person who gets my attention when he is speaking is sociology professor, author and radio host Michael Eric Dyson. I’m not saying he is an “expert” on everything, neither does he. But one thing is for sure, Mr. Dyson always brings thoughtful, intelligent commentary. He reflects on important issues and thinks before he speaks – something we could all do more of.
Michael E. Dyson has written sixteen books on a broad array of social topics -from faith to fatherhood, and from race to sex, as well as sports, manhood, gender, music, leadership, politics, language, love, justice, literature, suffering, death, hope, relationships and much, much more.
Dyson’s latest book “Can You Hear Me Now” touches on all the above topics in one book. I have attached a video of Mr. Dyson speaking on chapters from his new book at the Commonwealth Club of California. Please take a little time to watch and give some feedback.
