The Decline: Felt Everywhere From Churches to Universities

Carol Swain, a Black historian, was interviewed by Steve Bannon for his Christmas Eve War Room program first broadcast on Saturday night. Swain has received renewed interest with the revelation that Harvard’s President Gay chose to grab some of Swain’s work as her own. During the program, Steve and Carol intertwine church music with the state of our political system and our society.

It is well worth a listen on her view of the decline of America particularly the church .

Carol Miller Swain (born March 7, 1954) is an American political scientist and legal scholar who is a retired professor of political science and law at Vanderbilt University. She is a frequent television analyst and has authored and edited several books. Her interests include race relationsimmigration, representation, evangelical politics, and the United States Constitution.

This is how the Wikipedia description of her life begins. There could be no more rags to riches story of one’s life than hers. It goes on:

Carol Miller Swain was born on March 7, 1954, in Bedford, Virginia, the second of twelve children.[1][2][3][4] Her father dropped out of school in the third grade and her mother dropped out in high school.[1] Her stepfather used to physically abuse her mother, Dorothy Henderson, who is disabled due to polio.[5] Swain grew up in poverty, living in a shack without running water, and sharing two beds with her eleven siblings.[1] She did not have shoes and thus missed school whenever it snowed.[1] She did not finish high school, dropping out in ninth grade.[1][5] 

She moved to Roanoke with her family in the 1960s and appealed to a judge to be transferred to a foster home, which was denied. Swain instead lived with her grandmother in a trailer park.[1]

By now you have the drift. She has come back into the media’s attention and she offers some interesting insights and predictions.
