Father Peter interviews Lise Leist and Tom Jones for the final session of Talking About Race in America.

Lise Leist is Director of Post Secondary Education, Future 5, and has the responsibility for engagement, development and membership experience for Future 5–Stamford area high school students. Prior to joining Future 5, Lise served as Dean of Community Affairs for King School as a leader in education and understanding of innovative and adaptable diversity education curricula. Lise is a thought leader in diversity and inclusion focusing on the inclusions paradox, tapping into various cultural perspectives.

Tom Jones is author of From Willard Straight to Wall Street which provides a front row seat to the author's triumphs and struggles as he was twice investigated by the SEC and emerged unscathed. His searing perspective as an African American navigating a world dominated by whites reveals a father, a husband, a trusted colleague, a Cornellian, and a business leader who confronts life with an unwavering resolve that defies cliché and offers a unique perspective on the issues of race in America today.
