For more than a decade, Darren Walker has led the Ford Foundation — and has been singularly focused on inequality. Why?
“Because I want little boys and girls, wherever they are, if they're living in housing projects in the Bronx and they're Black or brown or they're living in rural towns that have been ravaged by opioids, I want them to be able to dream, and to feel as I did, that America wants you to succeed,” he says.
