- This video features speakers at a town hall and at the 14th Annual Labor Breakfast, both events held as part of the 40th Annual Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC) Convention in Atlanta, Georgia on July 27-30, 1997. In the town hall discussion, SCLC President Joseph E. Lowery, Louis Farrakhan, Cornel West, Rose Sanders (now known as Faya Ora Rose Toure) and other panelists answer questions related to economic advancement for African Americans, addressing violence in the African American community, and an examination of SCLC leadership and the leadership of other prominent African American organizations. The 14th Annual Labor Breakfast includes speakers commenting on corporate America, the labor movement, economic inclusion of African Americans, and the need for fundraising to support the labor movement.
