What Kind of Progress Do We Want? 


“American progress is described by problem, paradox, and irony… We must continue to ask what counts as American progress.” - Nichole Renee Phillips 


There are some people who just want their seat at the table and a fair chance to play. There are others who want to flip the table over and demand we play a different game. 


There are some who insist that everyone should have a chance to enter the race. There are others who go further and insist that everyone should at least have running shoes and get to start at the same time. 


But maybe, just maybe, we shouldn’t set life up as a game where there are winners and losers. Maybe we shouldn’t treat life as a race where a handful of winners get a medal and the rest get nothing at all. 


We need to think very carefully about what kind of progress we want. We have to develop the moral imagination to envision a different kind of world, and the dogged determination to pursue it with everything we have.


I’m Horace McMillon. This is 60 Seconds of Hope. Peace be with you.
