In honor of the 50th Anniversary of the Civil Rights Act, we have been hired to develop an event for social change that will use the model of the civil rights movement as an example for inspiring action to effect societal change today. We are creating an campus-based initiative to empower change. This event is supported by Newman’s Own Foundation and the Library of Congress. We are developing our unique process of transforming a vision into an experience to create lasting change.
