Warren Odess-Gillett interviews William (Smitty) Smith, a Baha’i and executive director of the Center for Diversity in the Communication Industries at Emerson College. In this interview, I barely scratched the service of Dr. Smith’s life. In one hour we covered the very interesting story of how he ran into the Baha’i Faith in high school, while living in a very rough neighborhood. I’ll invite Dr. Smith back to talk about his many accomplishments including, founding a video, film and multimedia company called ComTel Productions; founding a non-profit organization called Pupil of the Eye: Vision for Unity in Education; and writing and producing the award winning documentary film “The Invisible Soldiers: Unheard Voices”, which aired on PBS; and many, many other endeavors.
