Afraid of this thing, that we need your help. Celebrating ram done as a refugee. It is usually a time of reflection, and people fast and dont drink anything all day. And thats incredibly difficult under these circumstances. Front line iraq, the struggle to keep faith in a time of war. Good evening everyone, thank you for joining us. We hear from tourists braving it out. Hurricane arthur is barreling up the east coast. And taking aim at North Carolinas outer banks. Its expected to make land fall, mid afternoon friday. Bringing up to fiveinches of rain. Thursday morning vacationers were soaking up the last rays of sunshine. We are asking visitors to be extremely careful, as to not put our personnel in unneeded jeopardy. I have mentioned this before to citizens, dont put your stupid hat on.

Heritage month. This is about 90 minutes. Good afternoon, and welcome back. This is our next panel in the afternoon. Organizing across the boundaries, strategies and coalitions in the struggle for the civil rights and social justice. Before we get started i just wanted to explain a little bit about the genesis of this panel or this how it came about like a lot of great ideas, i came across this book doing a search in the catalog. And this is many months ago we were kind of thinking about what do we want to do. There are so many books that come out on if Civil Rights Movement every year.
