NPR reporter, Juan Williams, urges race relations debate

“Williams kicked off the Foster Conference of Distinguished Writers last night in the HUB Heritage Hall where he discussed race relations with a crowd of about 300 students.

He said his recently published book, “Enough” — which explores the “phony leaders, dead-end movements and culture of failure that are undermining black America” — is an effort to spark discussion and debate.

“To write a story in a daily newspaper … wouldn’t do [the issue] justice,” he said. “What’s required at this time is a larger, persuasive, insightful, fact-based argument that says, ‘This is something that is leading us down the road to destruction.’ “”
