Agreeing to Disagree - Randall Kennedy

  As we explore, this morning, the issues of tolerance and the language of civility and what we expect of others in return for our civility, we speak with Randall R. Kennedy, the Michael Klein Professor of Law at Harvard Law School, where he teaches courses on contracts, freedom of expression, and the regulation of race relations.

He addresses that simple question from Rodney King – why can’t we all get along?

Agreeing to Disagree: Civility in Public Discourse is funded in part by MASS Humanities.

Joe talks to people on the radio for a living. In addition to countless impressive human "gets" - he has talked to a lot of Muppets. Joe grew up in Philadelphia, has been on the area airwaves for more than 25 years and currently lives in Washington County, NY with his wife, Kelly, and their dog, Brady. And yes, he reads every single book.
