Tuesday, April 15
7:00pm – 8:30pm

Understand how today’s civil rights movement is changing the rules and rewriting the story from one of the nation’s leading civil rights historians.

We’re excited to share that former March On! board member Tony Williams will join his father, award-winning journalist Juan Williams, for a public conversation at the Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial Library about Juan’s new book, New Prize for These Eyes: The Rise of America’s Second Civil Rights Movement.
 
You may know his earlier work, Eyes on the Prize, which chronicled the civil rights movement of the 1950s and ’60s. This new book picks up that thread—looking at where we are now, how we got here, and what it means for the next generation of changemakers.
 
Their conversation will cover the movements reshaping America today, from Black Lives Matter to debates over education, tech, and democracy. They’ll talk about history—but they’ll also talk about what it looks like to lead, build, and advocate in this moment.
 
There will be a Q&A and book signing after the conversation. Register Today

The core values of HRE USA and its partner organizations include transparency and critical thinking skills. We believe that human rights--and human rights education--belong to everyone, and that the full realization of human rights means that access to human rights education materials must never be conditioned upon the subscription to any particular religious faith, ideology, political affiliation, or membership in any particular organization and that any organizational connections should be openly acknowledged.
