The Joy, The Joy, The Joy - Retired Actuary Therman Davis's Historic Life

His eldest brother, Robert, brought him to meet and hear Malcolm X while Therman Davis was a high school junior. Later, in 1967 at Occidental College, Martin Luther King, Jr. gave Therman career advice over lunch. This math major went on to enjoy a 34-year career in the insurance industry as an actuary. He developed insurance and pension products for Fortune 500 companies before retiring to devote himself to research on the structures that inhibit individuals, families and communities from thriving. My uncle, Therman Davis, shares his life.

Therman's favorite book: A People's History of The United States by Howard Zinn.

Favorite song: Summertime in England by Van Morrison.
