dc.description | In celebration of the 50th anniversary of SUNY Old Westbury, College President Calvin O. Butts, III, and the students, faculty and staff proudly welcomed U.S. Representative John Lewis and veteran journalist Bill Moyers -- two icons of the civil rights movement -- to hear their thoughts on the state of race and class in America. Through an engaging discussion moderated by Pulitzer Prize winning journalist Les Payne, Lewis and Moyers provided behind-the-scenes details about the most historic events of the civil rights movement, compelling opinions on the state and future of race and class, and a hopeful message about progress still to be made.
