Clint Smith: Spoken Words

When Clint Smith was 7 years old, he'd already decided how his life would turn out: He'd be a professional soccer player -- just like his hero Thierry Henry. The world would know his name. But it didn't work out that way. What he ended up achieving didn't even cross his mind. Fast forward three decades and the poet and #1 New York Times bestselling author of How the Word Is Passed: A Reckoning With the History of Slavery Across America is sharing his story and his inspirations with the world, and in Episode 8 of Press Pause. Clint's journey might even impress his 7-year-old self.
