What does it take to make a movement for social change successful then and now?
Levine Museum Historian Brenda Tindal moderates a conversation among former Charlotte mayor Harvey Gantt, Nashville sit-in veteran Sandra Luster-Harper, Friendship 9 “Jail No Bail” sit-in campaign participant Clarence Graham, Cops & Barbers founder Shaun Corbett and community activist Danielle Adele Hilton. Together they’ll reflect on their personal experiences and what makes a social movement.
