JLMLF Presents: Good Trouble Talks
In conversation with Lyn Vaughn and Courtland Cox on the 60th Anniversary of the March on Washington
Did you know that as Chairperson of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC), 23-year old John Lewis was tasked with delivering a speech to the crowd gathered for the 1963 March on Washington?
And that Lewis’ original speech was so critical of the Kennedy administration that he was asked to tone it down?
In commemoration of the 60th Anniversary of the March on Washington, please join The John & Lillian Miles Lewis Foundation for the 2nd installment of our Good Trouble Talks series, streaming live on August 24, 2023 at 4:00 pm, ET.
Courtland Cox, Program Secretary of SNCC in Mississippi and Lowndes County, Alabama and a John Lewis collaborator will be joined in conversation by broadcast journalist and anchor Lyn Vaughn.
As a nation, if we care for the Beloved Community, we must move our feet, our hands, our hearts, our resources to build and not tear down, to reconcile and not to divide, to love and not to hate.
