Join a bi-partisan coalition of community groups for a virtual panel discussion with the Civil Rights heroines featuring Lisa McNair, Joanne Bland, and Dr. A. Lenora Taitt-Magubane as panelists, and we'll have Freedom Rider, Joan Browning, moderating the conversation.
This virtual panel discussion will focus on events during the Civil Rights Movement including the tragic 1963 bombing of the 16th Street Church in Birmingham and the 1965 Selma March for voting rights as well as the racial and social justice movements sweeping across our country today.

LWV Greenwich & Affiliate High School Clubs invite Greenwich students in grades K-12 to participate in our annual essay writing competition.
