text:  It's Friday, which is when we hear from StoryCorps, bringing us voices of people who know and love each other. And today, two strangers sit down to talk. Their conversation comes from One Small Step, which is a StoryCorps program to bring together people with different political beliefs to learn about each other's lives. Alton Russell was the longtime chair of the Republican Party in Columbus, Georgia. Wayne Hales led the local chapter of the NAACP. And before this interview, they had never spoken.
