Description
On this episode of the W.W.A.A. Podcast, The host Kristy Mickelsen is joined by special guest Eric Christianson.
Eric is the author of South Bend to Spring Valley: The Davids-Sims Story, a poignant memoir of two American families—one Black, the other white—that forged a faith-based fellowship that defied the social norms of the 1960s and, in so doing, provided a blueprint for racial harmony still relevant today.
Eric has written teleplays, screenplays, and shorts, and also tutors SAT and ACT math and writing prep. Eric wrote this book to fulfill his wife's last wish before she passed away. She was one of the daughters in the Davids family, and she always wanted to write this book about the story of her family's friendship with the Sims family.
There are moments in this interview that both Kristy and Eric become emotional so you may also want a box of tissue.
