Intelligent Men/Intelligent Dialogue: Ross Douthat and Charles Blow (right) staged a public conversation for last night’s University Lecture Series at Hendricks Chapel.
They may disagree on policy, but one thing these two NYT opinion writers pointed out was that redlining and generations of housing policy in American cities were designed to discriminate, segregate and maintain white supremacy.
We heard this same point of emphasis at the recent Food Justice Symposium.
Blow will be a guest at the Thursday Morning Roundtable later today, which on this occasion is being held on a Wednesday. Moderator for the Roundtable is George Kilpatrick.
Throwback Thursday-Selma, Syracuse & Civil Rights
Thursday, January 1st, 2015
Talk-show host George Kilpatrick interviewed Diane Nash at last year’s Cold Case Justice Initiative. Nash is portrayed in the new film by actor Tessa Thompson.
The film “Selma” came out last week (in select cities) and several of the key Civil Right’s leaders active during that march have appeared in Syracuse over the past few years. The roles of Dr. Martin Luther King and his wife Coretta are played brilliantly by David Oyelowo and Carmen Ejogo, but we were also impressed by the supporting cast.
Rev. C.T. Vivian was played in the film by actor Corey Reynolds.
In the film Selma, former ambassador Andrew Young was played by Andre’ Holland. Young spoke at an event at Syracuse University in 2012.

Writer and activist Kevin Powell spoke at Syracuse’s Maxwell School in 2009.
Media personality George Kilpatrick says that we can lead from here.
To show he’s living up to his word, he recently reached out to BK Nation’s Kevin Powell for a conversation about ending domestic violence from a male perspective.
