Four Ways Philanthropy Can Support the Movement for a Third Reconstruction - nonprofitquarterly.org/four-ways-ph...

A real President ………. Sixty-two years ago today, November 22, 1963, President John F. Kennedy was assassinated in Dallas, Texas. He was shot while riding in an open-top car and died later at Parkland Hospital. The event, which occurred at 12:30 p.m. CST, was a moment of national tragedy.

This week: we can’t—and we shouldn’t try to—outrun history. Huge thanks to @drpenieljoseph.bsky.social for joining us to talk his new book, civil rights history, and the lessons it holds for us in this moment. You don’t want to miss this one! podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/i...

Historian @drpenieljoseph.bsky.social says coalition-building is as vital to the fight for civil rights today as it was in 1963. At a #JFKForum, he reflects on President Kennedy’s June 11 Address on Civil Rights as a call for Americans across the nation to join together in pursuit of racial justice.

Thank You Wilmington Public Library!

From the Birmingham campaign to JFK’s call to action, 1963 changed the course of history. On Live from the LBJ Library, I explore why that pivotal year still resonates—and what it means for the present. Catch it on PBS Friday at 7:30 PM www.pbs.org/show/live-from-the-lbj-library-with-mark-updegrove/
