The National Underground Railroad Freedom Center will host a conversation highlighting civil rights icon and longtime U.S. congressman John Lewis, a 2021 International Freedom Conductor Award recipient. Historians Jon Meacham and David W. Blight will reflect on our current moment in history, the events that brought us here and the individuals who played a leading role, including Civil Rights icon John Lewis, the subject of Meacham’s most recent book, His Truth Is Marching On: John Lewis and the Power of Hope. This meaningful discussion will be moderated by Dr. Eric Jackson, associate professor of history in the Department of History & Geography and Director of the Black World Studies program at Northern Kentucky University.
