CALS Ron Robinson Theater presents A Conversation Worth Having virtual series

“If a conversation is hard, it’s probably one worth having.”

The CALS Ron Robinson Theater presents A Conversation Worth Having: a virtual series a part of the theater’s Civil Rights & Social Change Collection of programming.

During the COVID-19 lockdown, the theater presented a virtual watch party each week focusing on a different hero, subject, or theme of the Civil Rights movement. The watch parties consisted of speeches, TED Talks, poetry, music, films, and documentaries designed to educate, enlighten, and encourage empathy surrounding the struggles and hardships facing the African-American community. Check out the links below to watch past programs:
