The need for principled people to take unpopular stands against injustice is an underlying theme.
Acts of moral courage against injustice by Romero and others are celebrated.
The podcast episodes explore the theme of moral courage, highlighting individuals who have demonstrated the willingness to make difficult choices and take stands against injustice, often at great personal cost.
For example, the episode 'Moral Courage with Diane Foley, mother of executed journalist James Foley' recounts how Foley found the moral courage to meet and understand one of her son's killers, fostering empathy and dialogue in the face of tragedy. Similarly, the episode 'Dare to Dissent' examines the stories of individuals who courageously dissented against their own groups or communities, even when it meant risking alienation or facing harsh consequences.
These episodes highlight the power of moral courage to overcome hatred, divisiveness, and injustice, and the importance of cultivating such courage in society.
