Civil Rights: Finding Your Voice

We all have a voice. But if your cause is just and you remain silent, how can you make a difference? In the 1950s and 1960s one person, and then another, decided that they could no longer let their voices be silent; together they formed the Civil Rights movement. The voices that arose from the movement can help us learn how to effect social change today. In this interactive program, Sheila Arnold and Sarah Osburn Brady challenge audience members to raise their voices, continuing to make America the land of the free.
