WATCH: Woodson Center Discussion on the Civil Rights Movement | C-SPAN

Posted By admin

Bob Woodson joined former judge for the U.S. Court of Appeals Janice Rogers Brown and 1776 Unites scholar Glenn Loury to discuss several topics covered in A Pathway to American Renewal: Red, White, and Black Volume II. In a panel moderated by Washington and Lee University professor and book contributor Lucas Morel, they examine the current state of the Civil Rights Movement, community engagement, the impact of the Voting Rights Act, the roles of the Black church and family, and more.

“Race is preventing us from focusing on the lack of meaning in the lives of our young people,” said Bob. “The celebration of American values in action. This is what we’ve got to return to. America very much wants a depository for their dreams, and we’re trying to create it at the Woodson Center.”
