Ronald Crutcher, Wheaton president emeritus, returned to campus March 9 to celebrate the release of his memoir I Had No Idea You Were Black: Navigating Race on the Road to Leadership and to share his talents on the cello. In Cole Memorial Chapel, he performed several musical selections before sitting down for an interview with President Michaele Whelan to discuss his life as a Black leader successfully bridging America’s cultural divides.
