Podcast Series: Disrupting Hate on hmTv
In this powerful episode of Disrupting Hate, Ken Schachter and Bernie Furshpan sit down with Marc Morial, President and CEO of the National Urban League and former Mayor of New Orleans, for a thought-provoking conversation on hate, history, and hope for a more equitable future.
Marc unpacks the findings of the 2024 Equality Index of Black America, revealing persistent disparities in economics, education, and healthcare. He discusses why access to wealth, affordable healthcare, quality education, and a living wage are essential for closing the racial equity gap—not just for Black Americans, but for millions of struggling Americans across the country.
The conversation explores the normalization of hate on social media, the denial of historic atrocities like the Holocaust and slavery, and the critical importance of civic education. Marc also reflects on his time as mayor, the enduring alliance between Black and Jewish communities, and the continuing relevance of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s dream in 2025.
This is a must-listen episode for anyone passionate about justice, equity, and building a truly inclusive America.
