Common Ground
Cheraton Love, who identifies as liberal, and her father-in-law, Jim White, who identifies as conservative, sit at odds on the political spectrum. Using the StoryCorps App, they recorded this conversation about how they manage to not let their differences pull their family apart.
Presented through One Small Step, StoryCorps’ new national effort to encourage people to engage in a conversation with someone they may not agree with politically. storycor.ps/OneSmallStep
