The Black Experience & The American Dream
Michael Steele points to various personal experiences and news headlines to engage audiences in a powerful discussion about the black experience in the context of the American Dream. Touching on hard-hitting topics and themes, including the effectiveness of the black leadership, white America’s blindness to race issues, and how institutions from banking to housing still employ tools that negatively impact an individual’s success, Steele delivers an insightful and challenging perspective into the issues sparking conversation from college campuses to corporate boardrooms.
Inspired and Inspiring Leadership
Michael Steele delivers a stirring presentation on his personal journey from his childhood as the son of a working mother in Washington, DC, to his difficulties in college and his years in a Catholic seminary. He gives insights into the challenges and joys of public service as an elected official and his rise in the Republican Party; as well as how the corrosive nature of politics has stained the very idea of “servant leader”. He is a role model and leader whose personal story of struggle, strength and perseverance inspires audiences of all ages.
The 2008 Financial Crisis and Why We Still Ignore Solutions
“In 2007, newly appointed Fed Chair, Ben Bernanke, declared that problems in the subprime mortgage market were so “limited” they would not create “significant spillovers”. Within a year, those limited problems would snowball into a full-blown crisis and the financial community would see the collapse of more than four major financial institutions and the largest government bailout in U.S. history.
Michael launches into the 2008 financial crisis which left 3 million families in foreclosure and 1 million evicted from their homes and drills into why the Congress continues to miss the opportunity to ask substantive questions on behalf of the millions of Americans who lost their homes due to the excesses of these banks
