AMERICAN CIVIC POWER
Advancing Democracy

I have kept this video recording since shortly after it was made. So powerful. Such an incredible moment And dialogue. It was the spring of 1963. These leaders were planning the now famous March on Washington. The voting rights bill was being debated before Congress. The same with a food stamps bill for poor people. Participating in this dialogue were James Farmer, James Forman, Whitney Young, Martin Luther King and Roy Wilkins. All powerful civil rights leaders representing the NAACP, the National Urban League, the Congress On Racial Equality (CORE), the SCCC and the SCLC. Issues discussed include Lyndon Johnson and the southern Dixiecrats, the voting rights bill, the bus boycotts, the lunch counter sit ins, the effort to register voters in Mississippi, and more. I found these five men so intelligent and informed and passionate and articulate that as I said in the video, watching this with my parents motivated me to go to Washington and participate in the March on Washington where Martin Luther King and others spoke. I post it now with the conviction that it will have meaning for all those concerned with the issues being debated in America today. Here is the link to my film that this show provoked - https://youtu.be/mcwVZGCZswY What does the term civil rights mean in America today? Today civil rights refer to the rights guaranteed to all citizens under the Constitution including the right to vote, freedom of speech, freedom of religion, equal protection under the law and the right to be free from discrimination based on race, gender, sexual orientation, religion, national origin or disability. The term "civil rights" is often used in the context of social justice movements that seek to address historical and ongoing injustices. Today civil rights activists continue to advocate for policies and laws that promote equality and justice for all and to fight against discrimination and systemic oppression. What is the civil rights movement today? Today there are several active civil rights movements. Some of the most notable ones are: Black Lives Matter: A movement that started in 2013 and seeks to combat police brutality and systemic racism against Black people. It gained renewed attention in 2020 following the murder of George Floyd by a Minneapolis police officer. LGBTQ+ Rights: Activists continue to fight for the rights of the LGBTQ+ community, including marriage equality, protection from discrimination in employment and housing and the right to serve in the military. Immigrant Rights: Activists are advocating for the rights of immigrants and refugees, including protection from deportation, a path to citizenship, and an end to family separation policies. Women's Rights: Activists are working to protect and expand access to reproductive healthcare, address gender-based violence and harassment, and promote gender equality in all areas of society. Some subscribers have asked where the idea of civil rights is articulated in the Constitution and federal laws.The Constitution and regulations provide various protections for civil rights. The primary sources of these protections are: The Constitution: The Constitution contains several amendments that specifically address civil rights. The 14th Amendment, for example, guarantees equal protection of the law and due process of law to all citizens, and the 15th Amendment prohibits the denial of voting rights on the basis of race or color. Civil Rights Act of 1964: This landmark legislation prohibits discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, or national origin in employment, public accommodations, and education. It also created the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) to investigate and enforce violations of the law. Voting Rights Act of 1965: This act prohibits racial discrimination in voting and provides for federal oversight of voting practices in certain jurisdictions with a history of discrimination. Fair Housing Act of 1968: This act prohibits discrimination in the sale, rental, or financing of housing based on race, color, religion, sex, national origin, familial status or disability.

Bobby Kennedy's Day of Affirmation speech set to the soundtrack of the Social Network & Gladiator. The Day of Affirmation speech was a speech given by Robert F. Kennedy to National Union of South African Students members at the University of Cape Town, South Africa, on June 6, 1966. Kennedy, who was then a U.S. Senator from New York, gave the speech two years before his 1968 presidential campaign, which came to an end when Kennedy was assassinated on June 5, 1968 in Los Angeles. Considered to be one of his greatest speeches, the Day of Affirmation Address, coupled with Ted Kennedy's eulogy for Bobby, offer precious words of wisdom decades after their initial utterance.

On a sunny June morning in 1983, Steve Jobs waits at the back of a giant tent, ready to take the stage at the International Design Conference in Aspen. The theme is “The Future Isn’t What It Used to Be,” and Steve is there to talk about computers to an audience of several hundred designers and design lovers. Over the next hour, he makes several prescient predictions about the future of personal computers but, most important, he speaks to their inevitability. Taking advantage of this unique moment, Steve works hard to persuade the audience of designers to seize a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to make these new objects not just functional but beautiful too. “We have an opportunity to do it great or to do it so-so,” he says. “And what a lot of us at Apple are working on is trying to do it great.” Visit “The Objects of Our Life” at https://stevejobsarchive.com/exhibits/objects-of-our-life
