At the start of the fall semester, Pulitzer Prize winning journalist and commentator Isabel Wilkerson engaged once again with the Boston College community. Ten years ago, she came to the Heights to lecture on her acclaimed book, The Warmth of Other Suns: The Epic Story of America’s Great Migration. On September 8, she was back (virtually) to speak with over 600 attendees about her recent book, Caste: The Origins of Our Discontents. Read about her lecture, in which she compared America to a medical patient with a “pre-existing condition.”
