Experience an unmissable Thursday morning as the renowned University of Houston Africana Professor, Dr. Gerald Horne, leads an urgent and eye-opening discussion that directly impacts our community and future. Dr. Horne will unpack the critical Supreme Court decision restricting the 1965 Voting Rights Act—a ruling that threatens the foundation of our democracy and the hard-won rights of millions. He will also shed light on the pressing international challenges facing the US—from tense relations with Iran, NATO, and South Africa, to the looming implications of Trump’s threat to take over Cuba. But the conversation doesn’t stop there. We are honored to welcome powerful Civil Rights leaders, the Revd. Canon Leonard Hamlin and the Revd. Dr. Paul Smith, who witnessed history firsthand at the White House when LBJ signed the 1965 Voting Rights Act. Their invaluable perspective on the Supreme Court’s decision will inspire and inform your activism. Sister Phile from the Million Woman March will also passionately update us on the urgent search for thousands of missing Black women and girls—a crisis demanding our collective voice and action. This is more than a show—it’s a call to action.
