Walker joined hosts Phil Buchanan and Grace Nicolette for a conversation about bold philanthropic leadership, inequality, and the importance of investing in institutions that fight for justice.
In addition, Walker and Buchanan offer different takes on whether “philanthropic pluralism” is really under threat.
