The Powerbroker: Whitney Young's Fight for Civil Rights
co-presented with ITVS Community Cinema

Whitney M. Young, Jr. was one of the most celebrated, and controversial, leaders of the civil rights era. The Powerbroker: Whitney Young's Fight for Civil Rights follows his journey from segregated Kentucky to head of the National Urban League. Unique among black leaders, he took the fight directly to the powerful white elite, gaining allies in business and government, including three presidents. Young had the difficult tasks of calming the fears of white allies, relieving the doubts of fellow civil rights leaders, and responding to attacks from the militant Black Power movement.


POST-SCREENING Q&A:

Bonnie Boswell (Producer) is an award-winning reporter, producer, commentator, and talk-show host. A graduate of Harvard University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Boswell won a Golden Mike Award for one-hour news special she created for NBC. Boswell has been a news reporter for NBC-TV, Los Angeles, the co-host of a news talk show on the Hallmark Channel and an associate producer for ABC's 20/20.
