Marching on Bridge with John Lewis and President Obama: I was honored to represent the Joint Center in marching to the top of the Edmund Pettus Bridge on Saturday (above). My Huffington Post piece on the experience is here.
Joint Center Selma Voting Event: Professors Ted Shaw, Khalilah Brown-Dean, Ismail White, and Andra Gillespie captivated us in an engaging roundtable discussion on the new Joint Center voting report at the Selma Public Library, just after the President’s speech. The report has been well-received and extensively cited. Many people--including both John Lewis and Martin Luther King III--mentioned the report while I was in Selma.
