On Sunday January 17, MLK DAY, I was invited by WYNC (New York Public radio) to participate in an intense panel discussion about the Legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. at the iconic Apollo Theater in Harlem.
Dr Eddie Glaude, Jr, , Ph.D. – Author and Chair of Princeton University’s African-American Studies Department and Taylor Branch – Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist, author and historian best known for his award-wining trilogy of books chronicling the life of Martin Luther King, Jr. and the Civil Rights Movement, were among the panelists. AT the standing room only event, our moderator, Brian Lehrer, asked each of us to share our views on racism and white privilege.
It was a magical moment!
