Aha Moment: Gentleman’s Agreement

The World

Listener Susan Evans grew up in rural Louisiana during the 1950s and 60s. Her first year of high school was also the first year of federally enforced integration in her town – and that did not sit well with her white parents. It wasn’t until years later that she was able to confront her family’s casual racism – she was inspired by Elia Kazan’s 1947 film Gentleman’s Agreement.
