  • Summary

  • EDUCATING EMPATHY- Podcast GUEST- Kai Carter recalls life growing up in Duluth Minnesota. Her family courageously and heroically paved the way for other families of color to be accepted in that community ultimately. You see, she comes from a Duluth family that represented many firsts in the community of Duluth in the 60’s. They were the first family to build and live in an all-white neighborhood which was met with hatred initially. While living in their home, the word hate and the “n” word were painted together on her family’s sidewalk and the side of the house repeatedly. Even during the building of the home white and black allies stood on watch, during construction, so that the home was not sabotaged which was attempted. They became a most beloved family in the community. Kai’s mom became one of the first Black teachers in the area as well! The neighbor who had been most opposed to the family living there became the closest friend of Kai’s father. Kai’s father advocated for him in his aging.
