S2E56 Scott Chesebro, PhD - The Windy City's Lasting Imprint
Description
Ken welcomes back Dr. Scott Chesebro. Just last week, Ken and Scott spent two days walking the streets of Hyde Park and the University of Chicago there on the South Side. Scott and Ken we classmates and fast friends, living in the city for three years and a second summer in the late 60s and early 70s. Scott became a sociologist and college professor with the Ph.D. he earned at Notre Dame. For over four decades, Scott was Executive Director of the Chicago Center for Urban Life and Culture, welcoming students from all over the country to the city he loves. They talk about their years at Chicago's famed Moody Bible Institute and the indelible imprint of those formative days. They share their faith journeys which led them in surprising but satisfying ways. Their walk through Hyde Park takes them past the homes of Mohammed Ali, Elijah Mohammed, Louis Farrakhan (friend of Malcolm X), Hugh Hefner (of Playboy, Inc.) and Barack and Michelle Obama. SHOW NOTES include links to Ken's first interview with Scott in which he tells the story of his discovery of slave ownership in his family - and his encounter with descendants whose ancestors just may well have been enslaved by Chesebros.
