I'm a professor and CEO, and I believe reading good books makes us better men.
Today, I'm talking with Coleman Hughes.
Coleman is an author, podcaster, and columnist for the Free Press,
who frequently writes about issues related to race, public policy, and culture.
Last year, he released his first book, The End of Race Politics, arguments for a colorblind America.
Thomas Sowles, A Conflict of Visions, published in 1987, change Coleman's life.
Today, I'm asking him why.
This is old school.
Common Hughes, welcome to old school.
It's great to be with you.
You have written a profile of Thomas Sowell,
and I asked you to come on today to talk about a book that changed your life,
and you picked Thomas Sowell's conflict divisions.
Tell us a little bit about who Thomas Sowell is.
He's an incredible story of a man that could only come from America.
I believe he was born in North Carolina, Jim Crow era,
without hot water or electricity, way out in the sticks.
And as he put it in his memoir, When he was a child,
white people were, I think he said, hypothetical to him.
