HOUSTONPBS PROGRAM TAKES A CLOSER LOOK AT RACE RELATIONS
A Conversation on RACE marks the 10th anniversary of Jasper murder
Airs Friday, June 20th at 8pm on HoustonPBS/Channel 8
(Encore performance Sunday, June 22nd at 5pm)
Ten years ago, James Byrd, Jr. was murdered in our own community, simply because of the color of his skin, yet 10 years later, an African American man is the democratic candidate for U.S. President. Have we really come this far or can the same things that happened to Mr. Byrd just a few years ago, happen again today?
On June 20th at 8pm, HoustonPBS presents "A Conversation on RACE," hosted by Ernie Manouse. Through conversation and hypothetical situations, the program will discuss how far we have come, and how far we still have to go. Involving great thinkers, political officials and community leaders, the show will explore this issue in a 60 minute television event. Through this dialogue, HoustonPBS hopes to address the topic of race in our own community, as well as in our country.
Houston Police Chief Harold Hurtt, Reverend William A. Lawson, Houston NAACP President Carol Mims Galloway, Journalist & Pulitzer Prize Finalist Tony Freemantle, Rice University Sociologist Stephen Klineberg and Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee are scheduled to participate.
