Civil Rights Across Generations
 Watch the Show
Twin Cities teens dialog with U.S. Congressman and Civil Rights hero John Lewis (keynote speaker at the 2006 MLK Holiday Breakfast) in a new special produced by Twin Cities Public Television and the General Mills Foundation.
A spin-off of the Annual Martin Luther King Day breakfast event and program, this hour-long discussion features Congressman John Lewis sharing his experiences, insights and ideas on Civil Rights and social justice. Lewis captivates the teens with his reflections on the Sit-ins, Freedom Rides, the March on Washington and other dramatic moments from the movement and offers advice on how young people can be involved and active today.
