Join us on Tuesday, October 28 from 7:00–8:30 PM ET for a powerful virtual event that bridges the past and present through stories of courage, faith, and purpose.
We’ll watch an inspiring conversation with The Honorable Andrew Young, Civil Rights Leader and Former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations, and Rev. Dr. Paul Smith, Pastor, Author, and Civil Rights Leader. Moderated by Dr. Catherine Meeks, Founder and Executive Director of the Turquoise & Lavender Institute, the discussion reflects on lessons from their early lives, their 70-year friendship, and the spiritual strength that sustained their work in the movement. A panel of young leaders will share reflections on what they heard—exploring how the wisdom of civil rights trailblazers can continue to guide the next generation.
