This Panel discussion, part of the Robert Penn Warren – Celebration and Remembrance, is related to Vanderbilt alumnus Robert Penn Warren’s 1965 publication Who Speaks for the Negro? Speakers include two civil rights activists who were interviewed by Warren for the volume, Ruth Turner Perot and Robert Moses, as well as Reverend Kelly Miller Smith, Jr., whose father was also interviewed by Warren. A reception will follow.
