"Progress or Promised Land? 50 Years of Civil Rights in Ohio" featuring Eddie Harrell Jr., Chairman, Ohio Civil Rights Commission, President & CEO of the Columbus Urban League.
Ohio Civil Rights Commission Chairman Eddie Harrell, Jr. will speak on the topic of civil rights and discuss the notion whether we’ve made progress or truly “reached the promised land” that Dr. King spoke of. What progress has been made as reflected in actual cases that come before the OCRC, and in society in light of the election of our nation’s first African-American President? Harrell will also touch on current and pending civil rights legislation and its significance as well as recent events including displays and occurrences of hatred, bigotry and overt prejudice.
