- This video features a rally related to changing the Georgia state flag and a Black History Youth Program. The video begins with footage from a 1993 Georgia flag rally. At 00:15:15, Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC) President Joseph E. Lowery speaks about the representation of the Confederate battle flag in the current Georgia state flag and racial discrimination. At 00:22:30, the recording switches to a Black History Youth Program in which youth perform skits and songs and speak about African American history, Black History Month, and civil rights activists. At 00:42:20, SCLC President Joseph E. Lowery reminds the audience about knowing where they come from, who they are, and where they need to be, and the importance of "turning adversity into opportunity".
