A FEW COMMENTS ON SMITH'S WORK
“This grand Race Amity Project is a timely work that speaks to our hearts and souls! I am blessed to fully support it."
- Rev. Dr. Cornel West, Professor Harvard Divinity School, Social Commentator
“Two Men Meet is more than a segment of a documentary concept. It is a truth, proof that the antidote to racial enmity and polarization is human interaction and shared experience. The example of the redoubtable orators Daniel O'Connell, the great emancipator of Ireland's Catholics, and Frederick Douglass, the American slave who emancipated himself, becoming friends and comrades in the campaign to abolish slavery demonstrates a reformative power that cuts across nations, races and generations."
- Kevin Cullen, Pulitzer Award Journalist
