May 13, 2025 | Conversations with Trailblazers, Racial Reconciliation

In this episode, Pastor Alex and guests Lt. David Meyer and Dr. Hector Cruz discuss the historical distrust between police and the Black community, rooted in slavery, Jim Crow laws, and systemic racism. Sharing personal experiences, they explore policing challenges and cultural divides. These transformative lunch talks, sparked post-George Floyd, aim to become a book capturing their candid conversations on race, policing, and societal healing.
