Three Generations of Black Mustangs

Today's episode is just family-- a conversation between three generations of Black SMU students, that is. Rev. Stewart, an early graduate of color of Perkins School of Theology, talks about being Black at SMU in the late 1950s. Rev. Stewart talks about deliberately raising his daughter, Janet Stewart Caldwell, so that she would thrive in an environment like SMU, and she discusses the extent to which her parents' strategy reaped desired results. Then, hear Janet in dialogue with her daughters, Sparrow and Grace, about contemporary manifestations of racism at SMU.

Ultimately, Shara asks the Stewarts and the Caldwells: what does hope look like in this intergenerational context? How does it move from father to daughter, daughter to granddaughters?
