please help me welcome arlie russell, hofstra old and matthew desmond. good evening, arlie. the last time you and i were in this room, it was memorialize the late, great barbara wright. and it feels very honoring and sacred to be back here with you in this space and with all of you. so just nice memory to think about barbara at this time. yeah it's kind of changes the feeling of the space and the company. yeah she's with us. it's an honor to be with you early. i've learned so much from your throughout my career and this book is an incredibly deep, deep meditation on on american life and politics and poverty. and one of the things you model for us, this book is this this deep, unrelenting curiosity about folks maybe aren't like you, you know, and maybe are, you know, in some and are like me and are like me. and, you know, it's an election year. tempers are running high. right. we're stressed. but i think modeling after you, maybe we should just try tonight and turn to that spirit of curiosity and not judgment and just see where that takes us tonight. that's my suggestion for
