I RECENTLY had the privilege of interviewing Dr Carol Swain ahead of her appearance at the Cambridge University Union, where she opposed the motion ‘This House Believes Black Lives Matters’ Intentions Were More Important Than Its Methods’.
Dr Swain is one of America’s most respected conservative scholars, a woman whose life embodies grit, faith, and a fearless commitment to truth. Born in rural Virginia in 1954, the second of 12 children, she grew up in abject poverty, left school early, married at 16 and became a mother at 17. Yet against all odds, she earned five university degrees while working full-time and bringing up a family, eventually earning tenure at Princeton and later serving as Professor of Political Science and Law at Vanderbilt University.
