Historian @drpenieljoseph.bsky.social says coalition-building is as vital to the fight for civil rights today as it was in 1963.
At a #JFKForum, he reflects on President Kennedy’s June 11 Address on Civil Rights as a call for Americans across the nation to join together in pursuit of racial justice.
Thank You Wilmington Public Library!

From the Birmingham campaign to JFK’s call to action, 1963 changed the course of history. On Live from the LBJ Library, I explore why that pivotal year still resonates—and what it means for the present. Catch it on PBS Friday at 7:30 PM www.pbs.org/show/live-from-the-lbj-library-with-mark-updegrove/
