In this episode of Curry Café, hosts Ray Gary and Rick McNamer welcome Robert “Silky” O’Sullivan, whose life spans activism, ministry, politics, and education. O’Sullivan reflects on his civil rights advocacy and American democracy, sharing powerful experiences with racism and non-violent protest. He discusses balancing careers in teaching, politics, and ministry while embracing progressive Christianity. Now a poet, O’Sullivan’s work champions justice, compassion, and equality, inspired by his faith and a commitment to social justice.

We encourage anyone with differing views to participate in future Curry Café discussions. If you would like to join the panel, email contact@kciw.org or call 541-661-4098.
