line:85% position:40% size:75% AND YOU CAN IMAGINE GOING FROM line:85% position:36% size:73% THAT TO BEING A JOURNALIST AT line:85% position:21% size:53% THE "NEW YORK TIMES."

line:85% position:50% size:80% I MEAN I HAVE INTERVIEWED PEOPLE line:85% position:44% size:78% IN CEMETERIES AND HOSPITALS AND line:85% position:50% size:80% PRISONS, BUT ON THAT DAY BACK IN line:85% position:44% size:78% THE '80S, I WAS CONCERNED ABOUT line:85% position:31% size:68% DISTURBING A PROFESSOR ON A line:85% position:13% size:23% SATURDAY.

line:85% position:40% size:75% >> THE LESSONS WE LEARNED AT A line:85% position:13% size:25% YOUNG AGE.

line:85% position:31% size:68% I WANT TO TALK A LITTLE BIT line:85% position:40% size:75% ABOUT SOME OF THOSE OBSTACLES.

line:85% position:36% size:73% I MEAN DANA, YOU ARE STILL AT line:85% position:44% size:78% THE HEIGHT OF YOUR GAME AND YOU line:85% position:33% size:70% HAVE ACCOMPLISHED SO MUCH IN line:85% position:40% size:75% SUCH A RELATIVELY SHORT PERIOD line:85% position:13% size:20% OF TIME.

line:85% position:31% size:68% ALL OF US IN OUR RESPECTIVE line:85% position:33% size:70% POSITIONS BUT YOU AND I BOTH line:85% position:29% size:65% COMING FROM THE JOURNALISM line:85% position:24% size:58% WORLD, WE HAVE OVERCOME line:85% position:29% size:65% DIFFERENT OBSTACLES IN OUR line:85% position:50% size:80% CAREERS AND THERE HAVE BEEN SOME line:85% position:33% size:70% TOUGH LESSONS ALONG THE WAY, line:85% position:44% size:78% WOULD YOU MIND SHARING, WHAT IS line:85% position:36% size:73% ONE OF THOSE MOMENTS OF GREAT line:85% position:44% size:78% REFLECTION THAT WAS A CHALLENGE line:85% position:44% size:78% OR OBSTACLE YOU HAD TO OVERCOME line:85% position:36% size:73% AND HELPED SHAPE YOUR CAREER.

line:85% position:36% size:73% >> THANK YOU FOR ASKING THAT.

line:85% position:29% size:65% I REALLY DO APPRECIATE IT.

line:85% position:40% size:75% BEFORE I ANSWER, I NEED TO SAY line:85% position:44% size:78% THAT THE WAY I LIVE MI LIFE AND line:85% position:44% size:78% THE WAY I TRY TO TEACH, INSTILL line:85% position:50% size:80% SOME THINGS IN MY SON, I BELIEVE line:85% position:25% size:60% IN LIVING WITH OPTIMISM.

line:85% position:13% size:20% AND JOY.

line:85% position:33% size:70% YOU KNOW, I'VE HAD SOME HARD line:85% position:44% size:78% EXPERIENCES IN MY PERSONAL LIFE line:85% position:36% size:73% WITH THE LOSS OF MY FIANCE AS line:85% position:44% size:78% YOU KNOW, WHO DIED IN COMBAT IN line:85% position:50% size:80% IRAQ WHEN OUR SON WAS SIX MONTHS line:85% position:11% size:10% OLD.

line:85% position:29% size:65% HAVE I HAD SOME OTHER HARD line:85% position:13% size:20% MOMENTS.

line:85% position:50% size:80% BUT AT MY CORE I AM A PERSON WHO line:85% position:33% size:70% IS INCREDIBLY OPTIMISTIC AND line:85% position:14% size:28% LOVES LIFE.

line:85% position:50% size:80% THIS ISN'T A DRESS REHEARSAL TRK line:85% position:15% size:35% IS ALL WE GET.

line:85% position:33% size:70% AND I REALLY LIKE THE SIMPLE line:85% position:50% size:80% THINGS AM I LOVE TO THIS DAY THE line:85% position:15% size:35% SMELL OF RAIN.

line:85% position:50% size:80% SO I ALWAYS TRY TO GET BACK TO A line:85% position:29% size:65% CENTER OF JOY AND IT'S NOT line:85% position:36% size:73% ALWAYS EASY TO DO IN MY LIFE.

line:85% position:17% size:40% IT REALLY ISN'T.

line:85% position:50% size:80% BUT THERE HAVE BEEN MOMENTS THAT line:85% position:50% size:80% ARE TOUGH, BUT I THINK THAT CORE line:85% position:33% size:70% OPTIMISM AND SENSE OF WONDER line:85% position:31% size:68% ABOUT THE WORLD AND LOVE OF line:85% position:44% size:78% PEOPLE, KEEPS ME COMING BACK TO line:85% position:13% size:23% WHO I AM.

line:85% position:25% size:60% AND SO KEEPS THINGS FROM line:85% position:14% size:30% BREAKING ME.

line:85% position:27% size:63% I ALSO JUST HAVE A LOT OF line:85% position:50% size:80% EXCITEMENT ABOUT, YOU KNOW, WHAT line:85% position:36% size:73% I FEEL IS A CALLING, WHICH IS line:85% position:50% size:80% THE PROFESSION AND THE VOICE AND line:85% position:40% size:75% THE PLATFORM I HAVE BEEN GIVEN line:85% position:16% size:38% TO HELP OTHERS.

line:85% position:50% size:80% AND SO THERE WERE MOMENTS LIKE I line:85% position:33% size:70% REMEMBER INTERVIEWING FOR AN line:85% position:40% size:75% INTERNSHIP AT THE LOCAL CAREER line:85% position:40% size:75% JOURNAL, AND TIMES AT THE TIME line:85% position:36% size:73% THE PAPER WAS THE TIMES AND I line:85% position:50% size:80% WAS THERE WITH A GROUP OF FOLKS, line:85% position:33% size:70% A GROUP OF STUDENTS INTERYOU line:85% position:33% size:70% HAVING AND REALLY WONDERFUL, line:85% position:44% size:78% WONDERFUL HOPEFUL STUDENTS LIKE line:85% position:44% size:78% ME, WE DECIDED TO GO OUT, THERE line:85% position:25% size:60% WERE MAYBE 8 OR 9 OF US.

line:85% position:36% size:73% FIRST OF ALL, PEOPLE LIKE YOU line:85% position:31% size:68% WHO CARE AND GET IT GIVE ME line:85% position:11% size:13% HOPE.

line:85% position:40% size:75% AND PEOPLE LIKE MY SON AND HIS line:85% position:22% size:55% FRIENDS WHO JUST DON'T line:85% position:40% size:75% UNDERSTAND, YOU KNOW, LIKE YOU line:85% position:27% size:63% MEAN THERE WAS A TIME YOU line:85% position:31% size:68% COULDN'T LIVE IN THIS HOUSE line:85% position:24% size:58% BECAUSE YOU WERE BLACK?

line:85% position:13% size:23% YOU KNOW.

line:85% position:44% size:78% YOU MEAN THERE WAS A TIME, FILL line:85% position:15% size:33% IN THE BLANK.

line:85% position:22% size:55% THEY DON'T UNDERSTAND.

line:85% position:40% size:75% AND THAT GIVES ME HOPE, MY SON line:85% position:36% size:73% HAS FRIENDS OF ALL KINDS, ALL line:85% position:18% size:45% RACES, ALL CREEDS.

line:85% position:27% size:63% AND THE FACT THAT ANOTHER line:85% position:36% size:73% GENERATION THINKS THAT-- THAT line:85% position:36% size:73% THOSE THINGS DON'T MAKE SENSE line:85% position:36% size:73% AND FUNDAMENTALLY THAT IS NOT line:85% position:36% size:73% HOW THE COUNTRY SHOULD BE, IS line:85% position:13% size:20% HOPEFUL.

line:85% position:40% size:75% WE HAD IN THE '50S AND '60S AS line:85% position:36% size:73% YOU KNOW, A HUGE MIGHTY STRUG line:85% position:40% size:75% NELL THIS COUNTRY AROUND CIVIL line:85% position:12% size:18% RIGHTS.

line:85% position:44% size:78% AND WE ARE GOING THRAW A SECOND line:85% position:36% size:73% CIVIL RIGHTS MOVEMENT, BUT MY line:85% position:36% size:73% GOSH, LOOK AT THE RAINBOW OUT line:85% position:17% size:43% THERE, OF PEOPLE.

line:85% position:44% size:78% YOU KNOW, IT'S NO LONGER JUST A line:85% position:27% size:63% MOVEMENT OF BLACK PEOPLE.

line:85% position:50% size:80% LIKE THERE ARE PEOPLE FROM EVERY line:85% position:50% size:80% WALK OF LIFE, EVERY RELIGION, EF line:85% position:21% size:53% RECREED, EVERY COLOR.

line:85% position:19% size:48% THAT GIVES ME HOPE.

line:85% position:36% size:73% NOW WE ARE GOING THROUGH SOME line:85% position:31% size:68% INCREDIBLY PAINFUL MOMENTS.

line:85% position:33% size:70% AND I DON'T THINK WHAT WE'RE line:85% position:50% size:80% GOING THROUGH ANY MORE HAS TO DO line:85% position:40% size:75% WITH REPUBLICAN OR DEMOCRAT, I line:85% position:40% size:75% REALLY DON'T IT HAS TO DO WITH line:85% position:31% size:68% BEING A HUMAN BEING, RIGHT.

line:85% position:44% size:78% AND HOW WE TREAT EACH OTHER AND line:85% position:50% size:80% WHETHER WE FUNDAMENTALLY BELIEVE line:85% position:29% size:65% WE ARE OUR BROTHER AND OUR line:85% position:50% size:80% SISTER'S KEEPER, AS I DO, RIGHT, line:85% position:36% size:73% AND WHETHER WE WANT TO UPLIFT line:85% position:25% size:60% EACH OTHER, THAT WILL BE line:85% position:40% size:75% ANSWERED VERY SOON, I THINK IN line:85% position:15% size:35% THIS ELECTION.

line:85% position:31% size:68% HOWEVER, REGARDLESS OF WHAT line:85% position:31% size:68% HAPPENS IN THE ELECTION AND line:85% position:36% size:73% REGARDLESS OF WHAT HAPPENS IN line:85% position:40% size:75% THE AFTERMATH OF THE ELECTION, line:85% position:36% size:73% I'M REALLY WORRIED ABOUT, YOU line:85% position:40% size:75% KNOW, A CIVIL WAR OR SOMETHING line:85% position:13% size:25% LIKE THAT.

line:85% position:33% size:70% AND A YEAR AGO SOMEBODY SAID line:85% position:40% size:75% THAT I WOULD HAVE THOUGHT THAT line:85% position:50% size:80% THEY WERE BEING HYPERBOLIC AND A line:85% position:15% size:33% LITTLE CRAZY.

line:85% position:44% size:78% BUT REGARDLESS OF WHAT HAPPENS, line:85% position:50% size:80% IN THIS COUNTRY IT'S ALWAYS BEEN line:85% position:50% size:80% TWO STEPS FORWARD, ONE STEP BACK line:85% position:27% size:63% AND IN THE WORLD FRACKLY.

line:85% position:31% size:68% AND SO WE'RE IN A STEP BACK line:85% position:50% size:80% MOMENT BUT WE WILL KEEP STEPPING line:85% position:13% size:20% FORWARD.

line:85% position:44% size:78% PRESSURE MAKES A DIAMOND AND WE line:85% position:50% size:80% WILL CONTINUE TO SHINE, WE WILL.

line:85% position:44% size:78% THIS IS A PAINFUL MOMENT BUT WE line:85% position:21% size:53% HAVE TO STAY FOCUSED.

line:85% position:36% size:73% AND THE WAY YOU DO THAT IS TO line:85% position:40% size:75% TRY TO NOT LET THE PAIN OR THE line:85% position:40% size:75% ANGER OR WHAT HAVE YOU CONSUME line:85% position:11% size:10% YOU.

line:85% position:40% size:75% AND SO HERE IS A VERY SPECIFIC line:85% position:13% size:20% EXAMPLE.

line:85% position:25% size:60% I DON'T KNOW WHETHER THE line:85% position:40% size:75% PRESIDENT CALLED FALLEN HEROES line:85% position:29% size:65% SUCKERS AND LOSERS OR NOT.

line:85% position:36% size:73% BUT MANY JOURNALISTS AND MANY line:85% position:31% size:68% PEOPLE BELIEVE THAT HE DID.

line:85% position:36% size:73% THAT HURT MY SON VERY DEEPLY.

line:85% position:24% size:58% MY SON IS 14 YEARS OLD.

line:85% position:40% size:75% AND HE KEPT COMING TOO MY ROOM line:85% position:44% size:78% SAYING MOM, IS HE TALKING ABOUT line:85% position:12% size:18% MY DAD.

line:85% position:36% size:73% HE'S TALKING ABOUT MY DAD WHO line:85% position:50% size:80% DIED IN SERVICE IN IRAQ AFTER AN line:85% position:29% size:65% INCREDIBLY STELAR MILITARY line:85% position:12% size:18% CAREER.

line:85% position:31% size:68% THIS WAS A HIGHLY DECORATED line:85% position:13% size:20% SOLDIER.

line:85% position:33% size:70% AND I ALWAYS SAID TO JORDAN, line:85% position:33% size:70% KIND OF WHAT I TRY TO DO, IF line:85% position:31% size:68% SOMETHING IS HURTING YOU OR line:85% position:50% size:80% UPSETTING YOU, ANGERING YOU, YOU line:85% position:27% size:63% HAVE TO CHANNEL THAT IN A line:85% position:15% size:33% POSITIVE WAY.

line:85% position:29% size:65% SO I ALLOWED HIM TO DO ONE line:85% position:50% size:80% NATIONAL INTERVIEW ON MSNBC WITH line:85% position:25% size:60% HE SPOKE DIRECTLY TO THE line:85% position:50% size:80% PRESIDENT AND SAID YOU ARE THERE line:85% position:27% size:63% THEIR COMMANDER IN CHIEF.

line:85% position:36% size:73% YOU SHOULD SHOW MORE RESPECT.

line:85% position:40% size:75% AND IN THAT WAY HE WAS ABLE TO line:85% position:44% size:78% CHANNEL WHAT HE WAS FEELING TOO line:85% position:19% size:48% SOMETHING POSITIVE.

line:85% position:44% size:78% AND THAT IS WHAT WE ALL HAVE TO line:85% position:40% size:75% DO, IN MICROAND IN MACRO WAYS.

line:85% position:33% size:70% >> I WANT TO COME BACK AND I line:85% position:40% size:75% WANT TO TALK ABOUT JORDAN IN A line:85% position:50% size:80% MINUTE OR TWO BUT I WANT TO STAY line:85% position:29% size:65% ON THIS CONVERSATION POINT line:85% position:36% size:73% BECAUSE I THINK IT IS SUCH AN line:85% position:15% size:35% IMPORTANT ONE.

line:85% position:40% size:75% AND HONESTLY DANA, WHEN I LOOK line:85% position:20% size:50% BACK AT YOUR CAREER, line:85% position:40% size:75% PARTICULARLY YOUR TIMES AT THE line:85% position:36% size:73% NEW YORK TIMES, YOUR 20 YEARS line:85% position:25% size:60% THERE, YOU WROTE FOR OUR line:85% position:44% size:78% VIEWERS, YOU MIGHT NOT BE AWARE line:85% position:33% size:70% OF IT, A FANTASTIC SIGNATURE line:85% position:44% size:78% PROJECT ABOUT HOW RACE IS LIVED line:85% position:20% size:50% IN AMERICA, WHEN THE line:85% position:31% size:68% PULITZER-- WON THE PULITZER line:85% position:12% size:15% PRIZE.

line:85% position:44% size:78% WE'RE AT A TIME WHEN WE ARE ALL line:85% position:40% size:75% OVERWHELMED WITH THE HEADLINES line:85% position:22% size:55% AND THE REACTIONS FROM line:85% position:33% size:70% CHARLOTTESVILLE, FROM GEORGE line:85% position:36% size:73% FLOYD, BLACK LIVES MATTER, OF line:85% position:50% size:80% HERE IN LOUISVILLE, WE WERE JUST line:85% position:29% size:65% TALKING A SECOND AGO ABOUT line:85% position:24% size:58% BREONNA TAYLOR AND THAT line:85% position:31% size:68% UNFORTUNATE TRAGIC EVENT IN line:85% position:40% size:75% MARCH OF 2020, AND HOW IT JUST line:85% position:40% size:75% HAS CONTINUED TO JUST PLAY OUT line:85% position:36% size:73% NOT ONLY ON THE LOCAL STATION line:85% position:36% size:73% HERE IN LOUISVILLE BUT ON THE line:85% position:16% size:38% NATIONAL STAGE.

line:85% position:24% size:58% YOUR PROJECT WAS SUCH A line:85% position:27% size:63% REVELATORY ONE ON SO MANY line:85% position:44% size:78% LEVELS, THAT AS WE LOOK SO MANY line:85% position:36% size:73% YEARS LATER, I'M CURIOUS, HOW line:85% position:44% size:78% WOULD YOU DESCRIBE THE STATE OF line:85% position:36% size:73% RACE RELATIONS IN OUR COUNTRY line:85% position:33% size:70% AND PARTICULARLY I'M CURIOUS line:85% position:44% size:78% ABOUT WHAT STILL DIVIDES US AND line:85% position:40% size:75% THAT SENSE OF JOY AND OPTIMISM line:85% position:33% size:70% THAT YOU HAVE, HOW CAN THOSE line:85% position:24% size:58% DIFFERENCES BE BRIDGED.

line:85% position:29% size:65% >> FIRST I HAVE TO SAY I'M line:85% position:29% size:65% HAVING A MIKE PENCE MOMENT line:85% position:36% size:73% BECAUSE THERE IS A FLY AROUND line:85% position:44% size:78% HERE, SO I HOPE HE STAYS OUT OF line:85% position:15% size:35% THE INTERVIEW.

line:85% position:40% size:75% BUT SO EXCUSE ME IF YOU SEE ME line:85% position:17% size:40% GOING LIKE THIS.

line:85% position:44% size:78% WE ARE IN A WORSE PLACE THAN WE line:85% position:11% size:13% WERE.

line:85% position:36% size:73% >> 19 YEARS AGO, CLOSE TO 20. line:85% position:25% size:60% >> I WILL TELL YOU QUITE line:85% position:22% size:55% HONESTLY, WHAT WE HAVE line:85% position:50% size:80% EXPERIENCED IN THE LAST YEAR AND line:85% position:31% size:68% A HALF OR TWO HAS BROKEN MY line:85% position:12% size:15% HEART.

line:85% position:44% size:78% I THOUGHT WE LIVED IN A COUNTRY line:85% position:44% size:78% THAT WAS WAY FURTHER ALONG THAN line:85% position:12% size:15% IT IS.

line:85% position:50% size:80% AND THERE IS NO REASON FOR THIS.

line:85% position:31% size:68% WE'RE SMART ENOUGH, WE HAVE line:85% position:31% size:68% ENOUGH EXPERIENCE WITH RACE line:85% position:40% size:75% RELATIONS IN THIS COUNTRY THAT line:85% position:44% size:78% WE SHOULDN'T BE AT THIS MOMENT.

line:85% position:33% size:70% AND SO I ASK MYSELF HOW DOES line:85% position:14% size:30% THAT HAPPEN?

line:85% position:50% size:80% AND I DON'T THINK, I DON'T THINK line:85% position:19% size:48% THE ANSWER IS EASY.

line:85% position:36% size:73% I THINK THERE ARE SOME PEOPLE line:85% position:40% size:75% WHO ARE JUST HATEFUL WHOSM ARE line:85% position:36% size:73% JUST HATEFUL AND THEY HAVE NO line:85% position:33% size:70% PLACE, YOU KNOW, INTERACTING line:85% position:33% size:70% WITH THOSE OF US WHO AREN'T.

line:85% position:33% size:70% I THINK ALSO SOME PEOPLE ARE line:85% position:21% size:53% SCARED AND DESPERATE.

line:85% position:31% size:68% YOU KNOW, MAYBE THEIR LIVES line:85% position:33% size:70% DIDN'T TURN OUT THE WAY THEY line:85% position:31% size:68% THOUGHT THEY WOULD AND THEY line:85% position:44% size:78% THINK PEOPLE LIKE ME STOLE JOBS line:85% position:17% size:43% FROM THEM, RIGHT?

line:85% position:40% size:75% AND INSTEAD OF TAKING PERSONAL line:85% position:31% size:68% RESPONSIBILITY OR TRYING TO line:85% position:31% size:68% FIGURE OUT WHAT CAN I DO TO line:85% position:44% size:78% EMPOWER MYSELF, IT IS EASIER TO line:85% position:20% size:50% BLAME OTHERS, RIGHT?

line:85% position:44% size:78% THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO SEE, LET'S line:85% position:33% size:70% SAY, A BLACK PERSON COMMIT A line:85% position:22% size:55% CRIME AND MAKE THAT AN line:85% position:40% size:75% INDICTMENT ABOUT A WHOLE RACE.

line:85% position:50% size:80% WHEN A WHITE PERSON CAN COMMIT A line:85% position:33% size:70% CRIME TKS IS ONLY ABOUT THAT line:85% position:12% size:18% PERSON.

line:85% position:31% size:68% AND SO IT'S COMPLEX, RIGHT.

line:85% position:36% size:73% HAVING SAID THAT, MOST PEOPLE line:85% position:44% size:78% ARE I BELIEVE ON THE RIGHT SIDE line:85% position:13% size:20% OF THIS.

line:85% position:44% size:78% NOW THE PROBLEM IS THERE AREN'T line:85% position:50% size:80% ENOUGH PEOPLE WHO TAKE WHAT THEY line:85% position:50% size:80% FEEL IN THEIR HEART AS A CALL TO line:85% position:12% size:18% ACTION.

line:85% position:29% size:65% YOU KNOW, WHETHER THAT IS, line:85% position:36% size:73% WHETHER THAT IS MARCHING WITH line:85% position:33% size:70% THE PROTESTORS OR SAYING YOU line:85% position:50% size:80% KNOW WHAT, I HAVE ACTUALLY NEVER line:85% position:29% size:65% HIRED A BLACK PERSON IN MY line:85% position:33% size:70% COMPANY OR GIVEN SOMEBODY AN line:85% position:36% size:73% INTERNSHIP WHO IS A PERSON OF line:85% position:44% size:78% COLOR, I'M GOING TO DO THAT, OR line:85% position:44% size:78% I'M GOING TO MENTOR SOMEONE, OR line:85% position:40% size:75% IS AS I HAVE DONE IN MY CAREER line:85% position:40% size:75% AND ASKED OTHER PEOPLES TO DO, line:85% position:50% size:80% GIVE THEM STRETCH ASSIGNMENTS TO line:85% position:16% size:38% HELP THEM GROW.

line:85% position:40% size:75% THERE ARE THINGS WE CAN ALL DO line:85% position:25% size:60% IN OUR LIVES IF WE CARE.

line:85% position:44% size:78% AND THAT IS WHAT WE HAVE TO DO.

line:85% position:44% size:78% YOU KNOW, THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO, line:85% position:40% size:75% I CAN WALK INTO A STORE IN NEW line:85% position:50% size:80% YORK, MACY'S, SAKS FIFTH AVENUE, line:85% position:36% size:73% PUT ON BLUE JEANS WITH A PONY line:85% position:44% size:78% TAIL AND GET FOLLOWED AROUND BY line:85% position:40% size:75% SECURITY AND HAVE STORE CLERKS line:85% position:29% size:65% DISMISS ME, IT'S HAPPENED.

line:85% position:33% size:70% BUT I ALWAYS THINK TO MYSELF line:85% position:44% size:78% WHEN I RUN INTO SOMEBODY WHO IS line:85% position:31% size:68% EITHER DISMISSIVE OR SNOOTY line:85% position:24% size:58% BECAUSE THEY ARE MAKING line:85% position:36% size:73% ASSUMPTIONS ABOUT ME BASED ON line:85% position:13% size:25% THE SHELL.

line:85% position:36% size:73% AND WE DO THAT TO EACH OTHER, line:85% position:12% size:15% RIGHT.

line:85% position:36% size:73% YOU ONLY BETTER THAN ME UNTIL line:85% position:44% size:78% YOU NEED MY BONE MARROW OR YOUR line:85% position:14% size:28% CHILD DOES.

line:85% position:44% size:78% AND THAT REALLY IS, I MEAN THAT line:85% position:29% size:65% IS AN EXAGGERATION, BUT IT line:85% position:40% size:75% REALLY IS AT THE CORE OF THIS.

line:85% position:15% size:35% WE ARE HUMANS.

line:85% position:21% size:53% AND WE ARE ALL HUMAN.

line:85% position:22% size:55% AND WE ALL HAVE VALUE.

line:85% position:50% size:80% AND I THINK IF WE REMEMBER THAT, line:85% position:40% size:75% AND REMEMBER THAT FOR THOSE OF line:85% position:40% size:75% US WHO ARE BELIEVERS A THAT WE line:85% position:50% size:80% ARE GOD'S CHILDREN AND GOD CALLS line:85% position:44% size:78% US TO BE OUR BETTER SELFS, THAT line:85% position:13% size:25% WILL HELP.

line:85% position:36% size:73% THE STEP BACK MOMENTS AND THE line:85% position:50% size:80% TWO STEPS FORWARD, ONE STEP BACK line:85% position:50% size:80% MOMENT, ALWAYS DOES PROPEL US TO line:85% position:31% size:68% A BETTER PLACE, HISTORY HAS line:85% position:40% size:75% SHOWN THAT, AND IT WILL AGAIN.

line:85% position:24% size:58% SO I DO REMAIN HOPEFUL.

line:85% position:40% size:75% >> OKAY, OPTIMISM IS GREAT AND line:85% position:21% size:53% I'M WITH YOU ON THAT.

line:85% position:44% size:78% I KNOW THAT THERE IS A LOT THAT line:85% position:33% size:70% DIVIDES US, HOW DO WE BRIDGE line:85% position:15% size:35% THOSE DIVIDES.

line:85% position:50% size:80% HOW DO WE OVERCOME WHAT FEELS SO line:85% position:44% size:78% MUCH LIKE THESE GIANT JUST GAPS line:85% position:44% size:78% AS IT RELATES TO RACE RELATIONS line:85% position:50% size:80% OR THAT WE HAVE SEEN IT PLAY OUT line:85% position:50% size:80% ON THE STREETS OF LOUISVILLE AND line:85% position:29% size:65% THE NATIONAL HEADLINES AND line:85% position:40% size:75% VIDEOS, ALL ACROSS, ALL ACROSS line:85% position:44% size:78% OUR COUNTRY, HOW DO WE OVERCOME line:85% position:20% size:50% WHAT IS DIVIDING US?

line:85% position:25% size:60% SWNS SO I'M NOT GOING TO line:85% position:50% size:80% PREVENT-- PRETEND HAVE I ALL THE line:85% position:33% size:70% ANSWERS BUT I DO HAVE THINGS line:85% position:40% size:75% THAT I ADVISE-- THERE ARE VERY line:85% position:29% size:65% FUNDAMENTAL, REALLY SIMPLE line:85% position:18% size:45% THINGS YOU CAN DO.

line:85% position:33% size:70% WE CAN'T LIVE IN SILLOS, I'M line:85% position:40% size:75% AMAZED AT THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE line:85% position:27% size:63% WHO DON'T KNOW SOMEONE OF line:85% position:27% size:63% ANOTHER RACE AS A FRIEND.

line:85% position:31% size:68% IF THERE IS SOMEONE IN YOUR line:85% position:50% size:80% WORKPLACE OR YOUR CHURCH, INVITE line:85% position:20% size:50% THEM INTO YOUR HOME.

line:85% position:36% size:73% AND THEIR CHILDREN, ENCOURAGE line:85% position:36% size:73% YOUR CHILD TO BE FRIENDS WITH line:85% position:40% size:75% SOMEBODY IN THE SCHOOL THAT IS line:85% position:17% size:40% OF ANOTHER RACE.

line:85% position:44% size:78% YOU KNOW, PEOPLE ARE ONLY SCARY line:85% position:33% size:70% TO YOU UNTIL YOU GET TO KNOW line:85% position:11% size:13% THEM.

line:85% position:33% size:70% I HAVE HAD PEOPLE SAY IN THE line:85% position:36% size:73% CONTEXT OF JOURNALISTS, OH MY line:85% position:44% size:78% GOD, JOURNALISTS ARE THE WORST, line:85% position:50% size:80% ARE YOU THE ENEMY OF THE PEOPLE, line:85% position:13% size:23% WHATEVER.

line:85% position:50% size:80% UNTIL I SPEND TIME WITH THEM AND line:85% position:22% size:55% HAVE A MEAL WITH THEM.

line:85% position:14% size:30% BUT NOT YOU.

line:85% position:14% size:30% BUT NOT YOU.

line:85% position:12% size:15% RIGHT?

line:85% position:13% size:23% >> RIGHT.

line:85% position:31% size:68% >> WHEN WE GET TO KNOW EACH line:85% position:44% size:78% OTHER ONE-ON-ONE AND BUILD FROM line:85% position:40% size:75% THERE, IT CREATES FAMILIARITY, line:85% position:40% size:75% WHICH GIVES US THE BEST CHANCE line:85% position:44% size:78% AT RESPECT AND ULTIMATELY LOVE.

line:85% position:36% size:73% AND SO I THINK GETTING OUT OF line:85% position:44% size:78% THESE, I CAN TAKE A LITTLE STEP line:85% position:44% size:78% IF YOU ARE TOO AFRAID TO DO IT.

line:85% position:44% size:78% DO ONE THING, YOU KNOW, GO TO A line:85% position:40% size:75% BLACK CHURCH IF YOU ARE WHITE, line:85% position:44% size:78% GO TO A WHITE CHURCH IF YOU ARE line:85% position:40% size:75% BLACK, HAVE YOUR CHURCHES HAVE line:85% position:33% size:70% MAYBE ONCE A MONTH OR ONCE A line:85% position:44% size:78% QUARTER, A UNITED, UNITY SUNDAY line:85% position:44% size:78% WHERE YOU WORSHIP TOGETHER THAT line:85% position:50% size:80% SAN EASY THING THAT CAN BE DONE.

line:85% position:16% size:38% MENTOR SOMEONE.

line:85% position:29% size:65% JOIN THE BIG SISTER LITTLE line:85% position:50% size:80% SISTER PROGRAM, TEACH SOMEONE TO line:85% position:33% size:70% READ, JUST DO SOMETHING THAT line:85% position:33% size:70% GETS YOU OUT OF YOUR COMFORT line:85% position:36% size:73% ZONE AND OUT OF YOUR SILO AND line:85% position:18% size:45% EXPAND YOUR WORLD.

line:85% position:44% size:78% I WILL TELL YOU, I HAVE FRIENDS line:85% position:50% size:80% WHO ARE 65 AND JEWISH AND I HAVE line:85% position:50% size:80% FRIENDS WHO ARE YOUNG AND ASIAN.

line:85% position:40% size:75% >> THERE ANY TIME SOMEBODY NEW line:85% position:33% size:70% WOULD COME IN EVERYBODY ELSE line:85% position:40% size:75% WOULD LAUGH WITH US THEY WOULD line:85% position:31% size:68% THINK WE KNOW WHAT THEY ARE line:85% position:13% size:23% THINKING.

line:85% position:36% size:73% WHERE DID THESE COLLECTION OF line:85% position:17% size:43% PEOPLE COME FROM.

line:85% position:27% size:63% THEY ARE FROM EVERYWHERE.

line:85% position:50% size:80% AND SOME OF THESE FOLKS ONLY SEE line:85% position:36% size:73% EACH OTHER ONCE A YEAR AND WE line:85% position:44% size:78% HAVE BEEN DOING THIS FOR YEARS.

line:85% position:29% size:65% AND THEY CATCH UP WITH ONE line:85% position:13% size:20% ANOTHER.

line:85% position:29% size:65% BUT IT IS THE MOST DIVERSE line:85% position:12% size:15% GROUP.

line:85% position:50% size:80% AND WE ARE RICHER BECAUSE OF IT, line:85% position:36% size:73% MY LIFE IS SO RICH BECAUSE OF line:85% position:27% size:63% THE RANGE OF EXPERIENCES, line:85% position:33% size:70% STORIES PEOPLE HAVE TO TELL.

line:85% position:31% size:68% THAT I BENEFIT FROM JUST BY line:85% position:25% size:60% HAVING AN OPEN HEART AND line:85% position:36% size:73% WELCOMING THEM INTO OUR LIVES line:85% position:18% size:45% AND INTO OUR HOME.

line:85% position:50% size:80% >> YOU KNOW WHAT, HAVE I LEARNED line:85% position:44% size:78% IN MY TIME HERE IN KENTUCKY AND line:85% position:33% size:70% IT'S BEEN ALMOST THREE YEARS line:85% position:36% size:73% THAT THERE EXISTS ALMOST THIS line:85% position:44% size:78% POLITE SILENCE AS IT RELATES TO line:85% position:44% size:78% RACE RELATIONS IN MANY CIRCLES.

line:85% position:36% size:73% OBVIOUSLY YOU HAVE THOSE THAT line:85% position:40% size:75% ARE OUTRAGEOUSLY PROMINENT AND line:85% position:44% size:78% GOING BACK TO THE SITUATION YOU line:85% position:36% size:73% ARE TALKING ABOUT IN TERMS OF line:85% position:22% size:55% YOUR INTERVIEW HERE IN line:85% position:29% size:65% LOUISVILLE BUT THIS POLITE line:85% position:33% size:70% SILENCE I THINK IS SOMETHING line:85% position:24% size:58% THAT HAS JUST GOT TO BE line:85% position:13% size:25% SHATTERED.

line:85% position:31% size:68% AND I REALLY APPRECIATE THE line:85% position:31% size:68% THINGS THAT YOU ARE SAYING.

line:85% position:15% size:33% >> THANK YOU.

line:85% position:40% size:75% >> LET'S PUT THE PIECES ON THE line:85% position:44% size:78% TABLE, LET'S ACKNOWLEDGE IT AND line:85% position:22% size:55% MOVE FORWARD TOGETHER.

line:85% position:36% size:73% >> LET ME SAY SOMETHING ABOUT line:85% position:14% size:30% THAT THOUGH.

line:85% position:33% size:70% I UNDERSTAND IT BECAUSE RACE line:85% position:44% size:78% WILL TRIP YOU UP, TALKING ABOUT line:85% position:11% size:13% RACE.

line:85% position:29% size:65% JUST TALKING ABOUT SEX AND line:85% position:40% size:75% RELIGIONING, PEOPLE ARE AFRAID line:85% position:29% size:65% TO SPEAK OUT BECAUSE QUITE line:85% position:40% size:75% PEOPLE DON'T WANT TO BE VIEWED line:85% position:44% size:78% AS RACIST IF THEY SAY THE WRONG line:85% position:12% size:15% THING.

line:85% position:33% size:70% ESPECIALLY IN THE WORKPLACE, line:85% position:40% size:75% IT'S REALLY HARD TO BE HONEST.

line:85% position:50% size:80% AND HAVE-- IT'S HARD FOR PEOPLE, line:85% position:33% size:70% LOOK, THERE ARE FAMILIES WHO line:85% position:44% size:78% DON'T DISCUSS THESE THINGS, YOU line:85% position:50% size:80% KNOW, AT THE THANKSGIVING DINNER line:85% position:33% size:70% TABLE BECAUSE IT IS SO HARD.

line:85% position:40% size:75% SO IMAGINE OPENING YOURSELF UP line:85% position:31% size:68% TO STRANGERS OR COLLEAGUES.

line:85% position:44% size:78% NO ONE WANTS TO LOSE THEIR JOB.

line:85% position:44% size:78% BECAUSE THEY ACCIDENTALLY SAID, line:85% position:44% size:78% MISSPOKE OR SOMETHING THEY SAID line:85% position:19% size:48% WAS MISINTERPRETED.

line:85% position:31% size:68% SO IT IS HARD BUT THERE ARE line:85% position:50% size:80% SMALL STEPS WE CAN TAKE AND THEN line:85% position:36% size:73% YOU KNOW, HOPEFULLY AS PEOPLE line:85% position:44% size:78% BECOME FAMILIAR WITH EACH OTHER line:85% position:29% size:65% THEY BECOME MORE KARTABLE.

line:85% position:29% size:65% AND CAN OPEN UP EVEN MORE.

line:85% position:50% size:80% AND I WOULD TELL YOU THAT IN THE line:85% position:44% size:78% LAST SIX MONTHS, AS THINGS HAVE line:85% position:36% size:73% UNFOLDED THAT WE HAVE IN THIS line:85% position:40% size:75% COUNTRY, EVEN MY WHITE FRIENDS line:85% position:40% size:75% WHO KNOW THEY CAN SAY ANYTHING line:85% position:29% size:65% TO ME ARE GOING DEEPER AND line:85% position:31% size:68% ASKING ME THINGS THEY NEVER line:85% position:50% size:80% WOULD HAVE ASKED ME MAYBE A YEAR line:85% position:11% size:10% AGO.

line:85% position:17% size:40% >> THAT'S GREAT.

line:85% position:25% size:60% >> I WANT TO SHIFT GEARS line:85% position:13% size:23% SLIGHTLY.

line:85% position:36% size:73% I WILL PLAY OFF SOMETHING YOU line:85% position:33% size:70% MENTIONED A SECRETARY OR TWO line:85% position:33% size:70% AGO, REFLECTING ON YOUR LONG line:85% position:27% size:63% CAREER IN A NEWSROOM THAT line:85% position:33% size:70% OBVIOUSLY, THAT AMAZING CHAP line:85% position:29% size:65% TERK THE PULITZER PRIZE AS line:85% position:40% size:75% ADMINISTRATOR AND YOU TALKED A line:85% position:40% size:75% LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE REFERENCE line:85% position:24% size:58% TO ENEMY OF THE PEOPLE.

line:85% position:36% size:73% I HAVE A STICKER ON MY LAPTOP line:85% position:36% size:73% THAT I'M LOOKING AT RIGHT NOW line:85% position:24% size:58% THAT SAYS AMERICA NEEDS line:85% position:14% size:30% JOURNALISTS.

line:85% position:12% size:18% >> YES.

line:85% position:40% size:75% >> AND YOU AND I HAVE GOT THIS line:85% position:40% size:75% SHARED PASSION FOR THE DEFENSE line:85% position:50% size:80% OF THE FIRST AMENDMENT, THOSE 45 line:85% position:33% size:70% WORDS THAT CHANGED AN ENTIRE line:85% position:12% size:15% WORLD.

line:85% position:13% size:23% >> RIGHT.

line:85% position:40% size:75% >> MOST DEFINITELY IN AMERICA.

line:85% position:40% size:75% TELL ME WHAT YOUR THOUGHTS ARE line:85% position:36% size:73% ABOUT THE ATTACK ON THE MEDIA line:85% position:18% size:45% THAT IS UNFOLDING.

line:85% position:25% size:60% AND I'M NOT TRYING TO BE line:85% position:50% size:80% POLITICAL SO I WANT OUR AUDIENCE line:85% position:13% size:20% TO KNOW.

line:85% position:17% size:40% >> THAT IS OKAY.

line:85% position:27% size:63% I DON'T MIND, BELIEVE ME.

line:85% position:50% size:80% >> NOT TRYING TO BE PARTISAN BUT line:85% position:33% size:70% I DO WANT TO TALK ABOUT THIS line:85% position:44% size:78% ATTACK ON THE MEDIA AND THE WAY line:85% position:31% size:68% HAVE I LOOKED AT IT IS THAT line:85% position:50% size:80% OFTEN THIS INDUSTRY THAT YOU AND line:85% position:40% size:75% I HAVE BEEN A PART OF, THAT WE line:85% position:44% size:78% LOVE SO MUCH, THIS EXPLOSION OF line:85% position:50% size:80% THE FAR EXTREME LEFT AND THE FAR line:85% position:40% size:75% EXTREME RIGHT WITH THE TALKING line:85% position:50% size:80% HEADS AND THE ECHO CHAMBERS THAT line:85% position:44% size:78% HAVE EMERGED, I'M JUST-- HOW DO line:85% position:44% size:78% WE TALK ABOUT THIS WAR ON MEDIA line:85% position:50% size:80% AND THE RESPONSIBILITIES WE HAVE line:85% position:31% size:68% AS JOURNALISTIC THEATERS TO line:85% position:31% size:68% ADDRESS THIS HEAD ON AND TO line:85% position:44% size:78% PROVE THAT WE ARE NOT THE ENEMY line:85% position:15% size:33% OF THE STATE.

line:85% position:44% size:78% >> YES, SO THIS ACTUALLY HAVE I line:85% position:44% size:78% TO SAY DOES ANGER ME, IT ANGERS line:85% position:40% size:75% ME A LOT BECAUSE IN THIS CASE, line:85% position:50% size:80% THE PRESIDENT KNOWS THAT WHEN HE line:85% position:33% size:70% SAYS THESE THINGS IT INCITES line:85% position:29% size:65% PEOPLE AND IT'S DANGEROUS.

line:85% position:31% size:68% AND NOBODY DESERVES TO LIVE line:85% position:36% size:73% THEIR LIFE AND GO ABOUT DOING line:85% position:44% size:78% THEIR JOB WITH AN EXTRA DOSE OF line:85% position:24% size:58% INSECURITY AND RISK FOR line:85% position:16% size:38% POLITICAL GAIN.

line:85% position:44% size:78% IT'S NOT RIGHT, AND CAN I SPEAK line:85% position:31% size:68% TO THIS WITH SOME AUTHORITY line:85% position:31% size:68% BECAUSE THE CAPITAL GAZETTE line:85% position:40% size:75% NEWSPAPER IN MARYLAND WAS SHOT line:85% position:29% size:65% UP AND PEOPLE WERE KILLED.

line:85% position:36% size:73% AND I WAS ON THE BOARD OF THE line:85% position:33% size:70% PULITZER AND WAS THE ONE WHO line:85% position:31% size:68% URGED THE BOARD TO GIVE THE line:85% position:31% size:68% CAPITAL GAZETTE OUR SUPPORT line:85% position:40% size:75% LITERALLY AND ANYTHINGIVELY SO line:85% position:27% size:63% WE GAVE THEM A POSTHUMOUS line:85% position:33% size:70% PULITZER PRIZE, BECAUSE WHAT line:85% position:44% size:78% THEY DID THAT NIGHT, IS EVEN AS line:85% position:40% size:75% THE POLICE WERE COMING TO PULL line:85% position:33% size:70% BODIES OUT OF THAT NEWSROOM, line:85% position:44% size:78% THEIR COLLEAGUES WERE REPORTING line:85% position:40% size:75% FROM THE GARAGE, I SAID TO THE line:85% position:36% size:73% BOARD WE NEED TO DO SOMETHING line:85% position:44% size:78% HERE, WE NEED TO PUT THE WEIGHT line:85% position:36% size:73% OF THE PULITZER PRIZES BEHIND line:85% position:17% size:40% THEM AND WE DID.

line:85% position:44% size:78% AFTER WE VOTED FOR THE AWARD, I line:85% position:50% size:80% SAID CAN I HAVE A MOTION TO GIVE line:85% position:31% size:68% THEM, YOU KNOW, A FINANCIAL line:85% position:24% size:58% REWARD WITH THIS PRIZE.

line:85% position:44% size:78% AND THE BOARD MEMBERED SAID HOW line:85% position:33% size:70% MUCH WOULD YOU LIKE TO GIVE.

line:85% position:20% size:50% AND I SAID $100,000.

line:85% position:36% size:73% AND CAN I CALL FOR A VOTE AND line:85% position:40% size:75% EVERY HAND WENT UP UNANIMOUSLY line:85% position:13% size:23% IN FAVOR.

line:85% position:40% size:75% THAT WAS A SMALL THING THAT WE line:85% position:33% size:70% COULD DO TO TRY TO HELP THEM line:85% position:40% size:75% FIND THEIR WAY AND GET THROUGH line:85% position:40% size:75% THE GRIEF AND USE THE MONEY TO line:85% position:31% size:68% TRY TO REBUILD THEIR STAFF.

line:85% position:40% size:75% BUT THAT'S THE RESULTS OF THIS line:85% position:17% size:43% KIND OF RHETORIC.

line:85% position:40% size:75% THE PRESIDENT OBVIOUSLY WASN'T line:85% position:40% size:75% DIRECTLY RESPONSIBLE FOR THAT.

line:85% position:40% size:75% BUT WHEN YOU INCITE PEOPLE WHO line:85% position:31% size:68% ARE ALREADY ON THE FRINGES, line:85% position:50% size:80% OR-- IN A POSITION OF POWER, YOU line:85% position:36% size:73% HAVE TO BE VERY CAREFUL ABOUT line:85% position:11% size:13% THAT.

line:85% position:50% size:80% BECAUSE YOUR WORDS HAVE OUTSIZED line:85% position:50% size:80% INFLUENCE ON PEOPLE WHO COULD DO line:85% position:25% size:60% HARM, THAT'S NUMBER ONE.

line:85% position:25% size:60% I BELIEVE IT'S RHETORIC.

line:85% position:16% size:38% IT IS NOT TRUE.

line:85% position:50% size:80% DO WE GET IT RIGHT ALL THE TIME?

line:85% position:36% size:73% >> ABSOLUTELY 100 PERCENT NO.

line:85% position:33% size:70% I HAD A CORRECTION BECAUSE I line:85% position:40% size:75% MADE A MISTAKE ON A STORY, THE line:85% position:50% size:80% FIRST WEEK I WAS AT THE NEW YORK line:85% position:12% size:15% TIMES.

line:85% position:29% size:65% I LIT REALLILY WENT TO THE line:85% position:19% size:48% BATHROOM AND CRIED.

line:85% position:44% size:78% BUT 22 YEARS LATER I HAD A GOOD line:85% position:44% size:78% CAREER THERE AND WROTE A LOT OF line:85% position:18% size:45% IMPORTANT STORIES.

line:85% position:36% size:73% AND SO JOURNALISM IS THE ONLY line:85% position:31% size:68% PROFESSION, I THINK, THAT'S line:85% position:50% size:80% WRITTEN INTO THE CONSTITUTION AS line:85% position:18% size:45% THE FOURTH ESTATE.

line:85% position:44% size:78% THE FOUNDING FATHERS UNDERSTOOD line:85% position:25% size:60% THAT YOU HAVE TO HAVE AN line:85% position:27% size:63% INFORMED CITIZENRY AND AN line:85% position:22% size:55% INDEPENDENT JOURNALISM line:85% position:24% size:58% PROFESSION THAT INFORMS line:85% position:25% size:60% INDEPENDENT THINKING FOR line:85% position:22% size:55% DEMOCRACY TO FLOURISH.

line:85% position:20% size:50% THAT HASN'T CHANGED.

line:85% position:27% size:63% SO WE HAVE TO KEEP AT IT.

line:85% position:27% size:63% WE HAVE TO DO WHAT I CALL line:85% position:50% size:80% RUNNING IN OUR OWN LANE WHICH IS line:85% position:50% size:80% TO BE AWARE OF ALL THIS BUT KEEP line:85% position:36% size:73% DOING THE IMPORTANT WORK THAT line:85% position:25% size:60% YOU AND OTHERS ARE DOING line:85% position:44% size:78% THROUGHOUT THE COUNTRY TO BRING line:85% position:36% size:73% ABOUT THESE IMPORTANT STORIES line:85% position:27% size:63% WHETHER THEY ARE BREAKING line:85% position:27% size:63% STORIES OR WHETHER WE ARE line:85% position:36% size:73% UNCOVERING SOMETHING THAT THE line:85% position:33% size:70% PUBLIC, THAT HAS BEEN HIDDEN line:85% position:44% size:78% FROM THE PUBLIC AND NEEDS TO BE line:85% position:11% size:13% TOLD.

line:85% position:24% size:58% >> AND YOUR ROLE AS THE line:85% position:29% size:65% ADMINISTRATOR YOU SAW SOME line:85% position:44% size:78% AMAZING AND INCREDIBLY RELEVANT line:85% position:36% size:73% AND AGENDA-SETTING JOURNALISM line:85% position:27% size:63% DURING YOUR TENURE THERE.

line:85% position:31% size:68% HOW DID THOSE THREE OR FOUR line:85% position:50% size:80% YEARS AS ADMINISTRATOR SHAPE YOU line:85% position:36% size:73% AND PREPARE YOU FOR THE SIMON line:85% position:44% size:78% AND SCHUSTER ROLE, PARTICULARLY line:85% position:36% size:73% DURING THIS CONTENTIOUS TIME.

line:85% position:29% size:65% >> I THINK MY ROLE, MY TEN line:85% position:36% size:73% TURE-- TENURE AT THE NEW YORK line:85% position:50% size:80% TIMES PREPARED ME EVEN MORE THAN line:85% position:50% size:80% MY TIME AT THE PULITZERS WHICH I line:85% position:18% size:45% TREASURE TOR THIS.

line:85% position:29% size:65% BUT SPECIFICALLY, WHAT THE line:85% position:40% size:75% PULITZER EXPERIENCE DID FOR ME line:85% position:31% size:68% TO PREPARE ME FOR SIMON AND line:85% position:50% size:80% SCHUSTER WAS TO HELP ME EVALUATE line:85% position:36% size:73% THE BOOKS THE BECAUSE WE WERE line:85% position:36% size:73% CHOOSING THE BEST OF THE BEST line:85% position:40% size:75% AND I SAW ALL THE SUB MISSIONS line:85% position:25% size:60% THAT CAME IN I CHOSE THE line:85% position:40% size:75% PULITZER JURORS, I LISTENED TO line:85% position:36% size:73% THE DELIBERATIONS AT THE JURY line:85% position:36% size:73% LEVEL AND AT THE BOARD LEVEL.

line:85% position:29% size:65% AND IT HELPED ME TO REALLY line:85% position:36% size:73% BECOME A MORE CRITICAL READER line:85% position:44% size:78% AND EVALUATOR OF JOURNALISM AND line:85% position:50% size:80% NARRATIVE WRITING AND REPORTING.

line:85% position:44% size:78% AND SO THAT REALLY HELPED IN MY line:85% position:36% size:73% ROLE NOW WHERE I AM RECEIVING line:85% position:40% size:75% JUST TONS AND TONS OF BOOK SUB line:85% position:31% size:68% MISSIONS AND HAVE TO DECIDE line:85% position:44% size:78% WHICH BOOKS WE ARE GOING TO PUT line:85% position:40% size:75% THE SIMON AND SCHUSTER IMPRINT line:85% position:12% size:18% BEHIND.

line:85% position:50% size:80% >> SO SINCE WE ARE TALKING ABOUT line:85% position:36% size:73% BOOKS LET ME CHANGE GEARS AND line:85% position:25% size:60% LET'S TALK ABOUT JORDAN.

line:85% position:40% size:75% AND I AM PRODUCER ON THE FILM.

line:85% position:40% size:75% MICHAEL B JORDAN IS PLAYING MY line:85% position:50% size:80% CHARLES AND DENZEL WASHINGTON IS line:85% position:13% size:25% DIRECTING.

line:85% position:36% size:73% THEY JUST CAST THE YOUNG LADY line:85% position:24% size:58% WHO WILL BE PLAYING ME.

line:85% position:31% size:68% I THINK SHE'S GOING TO DO A line:85% position:13% size:25% GREAT JOB.

line:85% position:36% size:73% >> CAN YOU TELL US WHO IT IS.

line:85% position:33% size:70% >> YES, HER NAME IS SHAWNTAE line:85% position:44% size:78% ADAMS, SHE HAS DONE A NUMBER OF line:85% position:50% size:80% THINGS INCLUDING WON AN AWARD AT line:85% position:31% size:68% THE SUNDANCE FILM FESTIVAL.

line:85% position:20% size:50% AND SHE IS TERRIFIC.

line:85% position:31% size:68% I THINK SHE'S GOING TO DO A line:85% position:15% size:33% FABULOUS JOB.

line:85% position:44% size:78% MY FIANCE CHARLES WAS KILLED IN line:85% position:44% size:78% THE WAR IN IRAQ WHEN JORDAN WAS line:85% position:31% size:68% JUST SIX MONTHS OLD AND THE line:85% position:50% size:80% ENTIRE TIME HE WAS AT THE WAR, I line:85% position:44% size:78% WAS PREGNANT WITH JORDAN AND HE line:85% position:40% size:75% WROTE A JOURNAL TO HIM THAT HE line:85% position:44% size:78% STARTED BEFORE HE WAS BORN, 200 line:85% position:40% size:75% PAGES BE HOW TO CHOOSE A WIFE, line:85% position:33% size:70% POWER OF PRAYER, RESPECT ALL line:85% position:44% size:78% PEOPLE, YOU KNOW, TALKED TO HIM line:85% position:36% size:73% ABOUT BIBLE VERSES AND RACIAL line:85% position:44% size:78% DISCRIMINATION AND HOW TO TREAT line:85% position:17% size:43% A GIRL ON A DATE.

line:85% position:44% size:78% AND ON THE LAST PAGE HE WROTE A line:85% position:44% size:78% LETTER BASICALLY SAYING THIS IS line:85% position:40% size:75% EVERYTHING I COULD THINK OF TO line:85% position:31% size:68% TEACH YOU TO BE A MAN, IF I line:85% position:19% size:48% DON'T MAKE IT HOME.

line:85% position:44% size:78% AND HE HAD 30 DAYS LEFT WHEN HE line:85% position:14% size:28% WAS KILLED.

line:85% position:27% size:63% I HAD ONLY BEEN BACK FROM line:85% position:50% size:80% MATERNITY LEAVE AT THE "NEW YORK line:85% position:40% size:75% TIMES" FOR TWO WEEKS WHEN THIS line:85% position:13% size:23% HAPPENED.

line:85% position:40% size:75% AND HI A SIX MONTH OLD BABY IN line:85% position:44% size:78% MY LIFE, JUST HAD FALLEN APART.

line:85% position:44% size:78% AND SO AGAIN, WITH THIS THEME I line:85% position:31% size:68% TRY TO KEEP WITH MY LIFE, I line:85% position:36% size:73% DECIDED I HAD TO DO SOMETHING line:85% position:33% size:70% WITH THIS OR I WOULD LOSE MY line:85% position:11% size:13% MIND.

line:85% position:44% size:78% I HAD TO DO SOMETHING POSITIVE.

line:85% position:40% size:75% NOW I HAVE GIVEN LOTS OF TALKS line:85% position:50% size:80% AROUND THE COUNTRY AND DIFFERENT line:85% position:50% size:80% PARTS OF THE WORLD ABOUT FINDING line:85% position:22% size:55% PURPOSE AFTER TRAGEDY.

line:85% position:18% size:45% AND ABOUT MY BOOK.

line:85% position:40% size:75% AND I SAY THAT REALLY IN THOSE line:85% position:22% size:55% EARLY DAYS I MEAN THIS line:85% position:44% size:78% SINCERELY, SOME DAYS SUCCESS IS line:85% position:40% size:75% JUST GETTING OFF THE FLOOR, OR line:85% position:44% size:78% GETTING OUT OF THE BED, THAT IS line:85% position:40% size:75% SUCCESS, IN THE EARLY DAYS FOR line:85% position:29% size:65% ME, GETTING OUT OF BED WAS line:85% position:13% size:20% SUCCESS.

line:85% position:29% size:65% THAT WAS A SUCCESSFUL DAY.

line:85% position:40% size:75% BUT THEN YOU GET STRONGER, AND line:85% position:21% size:53% YOU BUILD FROM THERE.

line:85% position:44% size:78% AND I DECIDED I HAD TO WRITE TO line:85% position:24% size:58% CHANNEL MY GRIEF AND TO line:85% position:36% size:73% FURTHER'S CHARLES' LEGACY AND line:85% position:33% size:70% CREATE SOMETHING FOR JORDAN.

line:85% position:33% size:70% AND BY GOD'S GRACE IT BECAME line:85% position:44% size:78% THIS BOOK, A JOURNAL FOR JORDAN line:85% position:29% size:65% WHICH IS A MEMOIR WITH THE line:85% position:40% size:75% JOURNAL ENTRIES INTERWOVEN AND line:85% position:50% size:80% IT IS IN TEN COUNTRIES AND EIGHT line:85% position:36% size:73% LANGUAGES AND I STILL TO THIS line:85% position:44% size:78% DAY HEAR FROM READERS ABOUT IT.

line:85% position:11% size:8% SO.

line:85% position:24% size:58% >> THAT'S GREAT, THAT'S line:85% position:13% size:25% FANTASTIC.

line:85% position:50% size:80% TELL US ABOUT JORDAN HIMSELF, 14 line:85% position:15% size:35% YEARS OLD NOW.

line:85% position:11% size:10% >> .

line:85% position:50% size:80% >> HE IS KINDER THAN I AM, WISER line:85% position:13% size:25% THAN I AM.

line:85% position:14% size:30% HE IS A JOY.

line:85% position:44% size:78% HE REALLY, HE TRULY IS, HE IS A line:85% position:36% size:73% VERY SPECIAL YOUNG BOY, YOUNG line:85% position:11% size:10% MAN.

line:85% position:27% size:63% AND HE PRAYSEV REE NIGHT, line:85% position:40% size:75% AND-- PRAYS EVERY NIGHT AND HE line:85% position:29% size:65% IS OBSESSED WITH POLITICS.

line:85% position:33% size:70% AND HE CAN TELL YOU PROBABLY line:85% position:31% size:68% RIGHT NOW IF YOU ASK HIM HE line:85% position:33% size:70% COULD TELL YOU THREE OR FOUR line:85% position:50% size:80% WAYS THAT EITHER DONALD TRUMP OR line:85% position:44% size:78% BIDEN COULD GET TO 270 WITH THE line:85% position:33% size:70% ELECTORAL COLLEGE, HONESTLY.

line:85% position:31% size:68% THAT IS HOW OBSESSED HE IS.

line:85% position:44% size:78% ONE DAY I REMEMBER LAST YEAR HE line:85% position:40% size:75% CAME OUT, MAYBE TWO YEARS AGO, line:85% position:31% size:68% MOM, THE J.F.K.

PAPERS WERE line:85% position:16% size:38% RELEASED TODAY.

line:85% position:33% size:70% AND HE WANTED TO KNOW WHAT I line:85% position:36% size:73% FOUND, WHAT DID YOU THINK THE line:85% position:33% size:70% MOST INTERESTING THING IS IN line:85% position:15% size:33% THOSE PAPERS.

line:85% position:33% size:70% I HAVEN'T READ THEM YET, YOU line:85% position:11% size:13% KNOW.

line:85% position:40% size:75% HE HAD ALREADY STARTED READING line:85% position:11% size:13% THEM.

line:85% position:18% size:45% AND SO HE'S BOTH A line:85% position:50% size:80% NATURAL-- ATHLETE AND A SCHOLAR.

line:85% position:29% size:65% >> DO YOU ENCOURAGE HIM TO line:85% position:40% size:75% PURSUE THE SAME CAREER AS YOU?

line:85% position:25% size:60% >> HE HAS TO GO WHERE HE line:85% position:36% size:73% IS-- WHERE HE IS MEANT TO BE, line:85% position:50% size:80% WHATEVER THAT IS, I WILL SUPPORT line:85% position:11% size:10% HIM.

line:85% position:29% size:65% I PRAY TO GOD IT'S NOT THE line:85% position:36% size:73% MILITARY AND I DON'T THINK IT line:85% position:50% size:80% WILL BE, BUT WHEREVER HE GOES IN line:85% position:19% size:48% LIFE, PERSONALLY OR line:85% position:40% size:75% PROFESSIONALLY, IT'S HIS LIFE.

line:85% position:44% size:78% MY JOB IS TO PREPARE HIM FOR IT line:85% position:27% size:63% AS BEST I CAN AND THEN TO line:85% position:14% size:30% SUPPORT HIM.

line:85% position:17% size:40% >> THAT'S GREAT.

line:85% position:29% size:65% I'M THINK BEING ALL OF THE line:85% position:40% size:75% DIFFERENT CONVERSATIONS POINTS line:85% position:50% size:80% WE'VE HAD OVER THE LAST 30 OR SO line:85% position:29% size:65% MINUTES AND THINKING ABOUT line:85% position:27% size:63% JORDAN AND ABOUT HIS LOVE line:85% position:50% size:80% OBVIOUSLY FOR CURRENT EVENTS AND line:85% position:40% size:75% ALL THAT YOU HAVE ACCOMPLISHED line:85% position:16% size:38% IN YOUR CAREER.

line:85% position:50% size:80% AND I'M WONDERING TONIGHT, DANA, line:85% position:50% size:80% SOMEWHERE IN KENTUCKY THERE IS A line:85% position:50% size:80% 16 YEAR OLD ASPIRING JOURNALIST, line:85% position:33% size:70% SHE HAS HEARD YOUR STORY AND line:85% position:50% size:80% LONGS TO PURSUE A CAREER IN THIS line:85% position:36% size:73% GREAT BUSINESS THAT YOU AND I line:85% position:40% size:75% BOTH HAVE DONE OVER THE YEARS.

line:85% position:40% size:75% THERE ARE CHALLENGES AHEAD FOR line:85% position:40% size:75% HER AND FOR ANYONE UNDOUBTEDLY line:85% position:31% size:68% BUT WHAT WOULD YOU TELL HER line:85% position:50% size:80% TONIGHT IF SHE ASPIRES TO BE THE line:85% position:17% size:43% NEXT DANA CANEDY.

line:85% position:40% size:75% >> OH GOSH, WELL DON'T AS PAIR line:85% position:31% size:68% TO BE THE NEXT DANA CANEDY, line:85% position:36% size:73% ASPIRE TO BE THE NEXT WHOEVER line:85% position:13% size:20% YOU ARE.

line:85% position:50% size:80% AND I WOULD SAY THAT I LEFT HOME line:85% position:13% size:25% WITH $500.

line:85% position:50% size:80% AND THERE WERE TIMES IN MY FIRST line:85% position:40% size:75% JOB WHEN I GOT OUT OF COLLEGE, line:85% position:40% size:75% WHEN I DIDN'T HAVE GAS FOR THE line:85% position:36% size:73% CAR, I WAS JUST HOLDING ON TO line:85% position:44% size:78% THE NEXT PAYCHECK, BEHIND IN MY line:85% position:25% size:60% RENT, BECAUSE I WAS JUST line:85% position:36% size:73% LAUNCHING MYSELF AND LEARNING line:85% position:36% size:73% HOW TO MAKE IT AND BUYING THE line:85% position:50% size:80% THINGS THAT YOU NEED TO CREATE A line:85% position:33% size:70% LIFE, YOU KNOW, PROFESSIONAL line:85% position:50% size:80% WORK CLOTHES AND A CAR THAT WILL line:85% position:36% size:73% RUN BECAUSE MINE WAS BREAKING line:85% position:16% size:38% DOWN, YOU KNOW.

line:85% position:50% size:80% AND I REMEMBER THINKING HOW AM I line:85% position:40% size:75% GOING TO DO ALL THAT I NEED TO line:85% position:50% size:80% DO WITH THOSE DISTRACTIONS, PLUS line:85% position:44% size:78% PEOPLE WHO DIDN'T BELIEVE IN ME line:85% position:33% size:70% AND SOME OF THEM IN MY FIRST line:85% position:11% size:10% JOB.

line:85% position:33% size:70% I WAS AWAY FROM HOME FOR THE line:85% position:27% size:63% FIRST TIME AND LONELY AND line:85% position:12% size:18% SCARED.

line:85% position:33% size:70% AND SO IF I COULD HIT A FAST line:85% position:36% size:73% FORWARD BUTTON, I COULD NEVER line:85% position:50% size:80% HAVE ENVISIONED THAT I WOULD END line:85% position:33% size:70% UP IN THIS PLACE, IF I COULD line:85% position:18% size:45% HAVE AT THAT TIME.

line:85% position:36% size:73% AND SO THE JOURNEY IS PART OF line:85% position:14% size:30% THE PROCESS.

line:85% position:33% size:70% AND ALL OF THOSE EXPERIENCES line:85% position:33% size:70% PREPARED ME FOR THE STRENGTH line:85% position:40% size:75% THAT I ACQUIRED OVER TIME, AND line:85% position:31% size:68% THERE WILL BE HARD MOMENTS.

line:85% position:50% size:80% YOU MIGHT CHANGE YOUR MIND ABOUT line:85% position:27% size:63% WHAT PROFESSION YOU WANT.

line:85% position:50% size:80% OR HOW TO GET TO THE PROFESSION, line:85% position:44% size:78% INTO THE PROFESSION THAT YOU DO line:85% position:25% size:60% WANT, YOU DON'T GIVE UP.

line:85% position:40% size:75% I MEAN HAVE I HAD TO BE REALLY line:85% position:50% size:80% CREATIVE LIKE YOU KNOW, WORK TWO line:85% position:50% size:80% JOBS, WOCK THREE JOBS, WHAT IF I line:85% position:40% size:75% TRIED THIS, WHAT IF I DO THIS, line:85% position:21% size:53% IF THIS DOESN'T WORK, line:85% position:50% size:80% RECALIBRATE, BUT DON'T EVER GIVE line:85% position:31% size:68% UP BECAUSE THE DIRTY LITTLE line:85% position:31% size:68% SECRET IS WHETHER YOU ARE A line:85% position:25% size:60% STUDENT, WHETHER YOU ARE line:85% position:44% size:78% ENTERING THE WORK PLACE IN YOUR line:85% position:36% size:73% FIRST JOB OR WHETHER YOU ARE, line:85% position:36% size:73% YOU KNOW, THE EDITOR OF A BIG line:85% position:27% size:63% NEWSPAPER OR A PUBLISHER, line:85% position:27% size:63% EVERYBODY HAS WHAT I CALL line:85% position:44% size:78% IMPOSTOR SYNDROME AND WHAT DO I line:85% position:15% size:33% MEAN BY THAT?

line:85% position:36% size:73% WHEN I WAS APPLYING FOR A JOB line:85% position:36% size:73% YEARS AGO AT THE MIMEY HERALD line:85% position:31% size:68% UNDER A CHAIN CALLED KNIGHT line:85% position:44% size:78% RIDDER AT THE TIME THEY GAVE AN line:85% position:40% size:75% EXTENSIVE SEVERAL PAGE WRITTEN line:85% position:36% size:73% PSYCHOLOGICAL EXAM AS PART OF line:85% position:33% size:70% THE JOB PROCESS, APPLICATION line:85% position:40% size:75% PROCESS AND I REMEMBER SITTING line:85% position:40% size:75% IN A ROOM FILLING THIS OUT AND line:85% position:40% size:75% WHEN I WAS DONE I HANDED IT TO line:85% position:50% size:80% WHOEVER IT WAS AND SAID WHAT ARE line:85% position:17% size:40% YOU LOOKING FOR.

line:85% position:33% size:70% AND YOU KNOW WHAT THEY SAID?

line:85% position:24% size:58% INSECURE OVERACHIEVERS.

line:85% position:21% size:53% BECAUSE IF YOU ARE AN line:85% position:44% size:78% OVERACHIEVER YOU ARE RUNNING ON line:85% position:33% size:70% THAT LITTLE HAMSTER WHEEL AS line:85% position:17% size:40% FAST AS YOU CAN.

line:85% position:33% size:70% BUT IF YOU ARE INSECURE, YOU line:85% position:44% size:78% DON'T KNOW THAT YOU ARE RUNNING line:85% position:36% size:73% ON THAT, SO YOU WILL RUN EVEN line:85% position:12% size:18% HARDER.

line:85% position:33% size:70% AND EVERYBODY IS AN INSECURE line:85% position:15% size:33% OVERACHIEVER.

line:85% position:50% size:80% I NEARLY THREW UP THE FIRST TIME line:85% position:44% size:78% I WAS RIDING THE ELEVATOR UP TO line:85% position:40% size:75% THE NEW YORK TIMES NEWSROOM TO line:85% position:14% size:28% GO TO WORK.

line:85% position:44% size:78% I WAS LIKE OH MY GOD, THEY GAVE line:85% position:14% size:30% ME THIS JOB.

line:85% position:44% size:78% NOW I ACTUALLY HAVE TO DO THIS.

line:85% position:40% size:75% AND SO TAKE IT ONE DAY AND ONE line:85% position:29% size:65% STEP AT A TIME AND BUILD A line:85% position:29% size:65% SUPPORT SYSTEM AROUND YOU.

line:85% position:44% size:78% PLACES YOU CAN GO WHEN YOU FALL line:85% position:11% size:13% DOWN.

line:85% position:24% size:58% PLACES WHERE YOU CAN BE line:85% position:25% size:60% CELEBRATED WHEN YOU HAVE line:85% position:13% size:25% SUCCESSES.

line:85% position:50% size:80% IT IS NOT GOING TO BE A STRAIGHT line:85% position:17% size:40% LINE TO THE TOP.

line:85% position:44% size:78% BUT THAT IS WHERE YOUR STRENGTH line:85% position:44% size:78% AND YOU HAVE TO HOLD ON TO SOME line:85% position:40% size:75% MEASURE OF CONFIDENCE, EVEN IF line:85% position:40% size:75% YOU DON'T FEEL CONFIDENT, FAKE line:85% position:44% size:78% IT UNTIL YOU DO AND KEEP GOING.
