Uncensored

As the president of the student group Uncomfortable Learning at Williams College, there's no one Zachary Wood has refused to debate or engage with simply because he disagrees with their beliefs. Here he reveals how he grew up poor and black in Washington, DC, in an environment where the only way to survive was to resist the urge to write people off simply because of their backgrounds and their perspectives. Zach makes a compelling argument for a new way of interacting with others, in a nation and a world that has never felt more polarized.
