60 Years of the Civil Rights Act of 1964

This previously recorded presentation, led by Heather Bruegl (Oneida/Stockbridge-Munsee), Curator of Political and Civic Engagement, and Amber N. Mitchell, Curator of Black History, explores this act that changed the course of America, including its origins and legacy and the call to action that it still has for Americans today.
