In this deeply moving episode of Summer Tour, we journey into the heart of what it truly means to lead with integrity, compassion, and courage. Reverend Elvin J. Mallory shares a powerful and personal account of his experience with the legendary Dr. Rebecca Walker Steele — A woman whose presence was more than professorial; it was profoundly transformational.

Dr. Steele was more than an educator. She was a fierce advocate, a tender soul, and a guardian of fairness. She saw her students not just for who they were, but for who they could become — and she fought tirelessly to ensure they had the dignity, resources, and love to reach their potential. Through adversity, she never wavered. She modeled a master character that not only impacted her students, but radiated outward — shaping master communities that continue to thrive today.

This episode honors her enduring legacy: a living blueprint of compassion, justice, and excellence. Through Reverend Mallory’s reflections, listeners will witness the ways in which Dr. Steele's spirit lives on — in classrooms, choirs, communities, and hearts around the world.

Listen in and be inspired by a story of love in action, and a character so profound, it created a community that still sings her name.
