From Extremist to Activist | James Harris | TEDxUWGreenBay

How My Christian Nationalist Childhood Led Me to Embrace Diversity James Harris is a non-traditional student who grew up in an extremely Conservative Christian household until his parent's divorce changed everything. After high school, he worked factory jobs for over a decade until pursuing a degree in Democracy and Justice Studies. His life experiences taught him valuable lessons on debating and arguing with opposing views productively rather than destructively.
He is the recipient of the Bridging the Divide scholarship through the Tommy G. Thompson Center on Public Leadership. He is the current Newman Civic Fellow for the UW-Green Bay campus. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
