As the country approaches the 50th Anniversary of the March on Washington we invite you to attend a reflective program that examines why the nation responded to the March on Washington. This program will feature a screening of 1963: The Tipping Point, and be followed by a conversation with Ambassador Andrew Young moderated by Dr. JC Hayward Vice President Media Outreach W*USA-TV and then audience Q & A session.
1963: The Tipping Point is a documentary that sheds light on why the response and call to March was dire by focusing on Birmingham- the Movement that focused the world on the reality of segregation in America. In it, we meet Rev. Fred L. Shuttlesworth, one of the great unsung heroes of the Civil RIghts Movement who risked his life and family time and again to bring racial justice to Birmingham, Alabama. It was the movement in Birmingham that raised the consiceince of a nation and set the stage for the great March on Washington.
Reception will commence at 5:30 pm
Film Screening and Conversation from 6:00 pm - 8:00 pm

I love well-behaved spiders! They are, in fact, how most people find my site. Unfortunately, my network has a limited bandwidth and pictures take up bandwidth. Spiders ask for lots and lots of pages and chew up lots and lots of bandwidth which slows things down considerably for regular folk. To counter this, you'll see all the text on the page but the images are being suppressed. Also, some system options like merges are being blocked for you.
Note: Permission is NOT granted for spiders, robots, etc to use the site for AI-generation purposes. I'm sure you're thrilled by your ability to make revenue from my work but there's nothing in that for my human users or for me.
