Hour 1: Pathway to American Renewal
Join us as we hear about some challenging and inspiring essays that constructively frame the story of Black America—not as a tragedy involving helpless victims, but as a model for the nation. Denied access to the institutions of white America, they built their own churches, schools, hotels, and a host of other successful enterprises. Their resilience produced amazing increases in literacy, family formation, and income. Hear the story of today’s unsung grassroots leaders who are the living evidence of the power of resilience. They use their stories of overcoming adversity and their own fallibility to help others. The organizations they create heal their communities.
Hour 2: A Day of Remembrance
October 7th marks the one-year anniversary of the horrific attacks by Hamas on Israel. How is the Jewish state dealing with the trauma of that day – and all the days that have followed? We start by hearing about a prolife organization that is hearing from the soldiers calling from frontlines while helping the displaced moms have their babies. We then learn about an organization that is helping the victims of the attack to move forward in life. It’s overwhelmingly hard work but this group is making a difference. Join us for some powerful conversations.
