Secrets of the Civil Rights Movement with Pablo del Real
Did you know that meditation was a key element of the Civil Rights Movement? It's true. That's one of the secrets of the campaigns that changed the heart of America in the 1950s and '60s. Learn how spirituality fueled the most dramatic confrontations of the Civil Rights Movement.
Before the Civil Rights Movement became a spiritual movement, there were many attempts to overcome legal segregation. How did the spiritual campaigns of the movement succeed where other attempts fell short? Secrets of the Civil Rights Movement will answer that question through artifacts, storytelling, and exercises.

This was a deeply painful, and excellent presentation. A history reminder that is sadly, but very timely to be revisited. Thank you for this offering!!
