Title: Hearing Voices
Description: Text of a lecture delivered to the Sphex Club in Lynchburg. Dr. Thomas Tiller's presentation, "Hearing Voices," examines the evolution and impact of race relations and equality movements in the United States, contextualized within the framework of America's three historical reconstructions. The paper discusses the recent resurgence in racial justice activism, its historical precedents, and the potential future implications for societal change and reforms in areas like policing and reparations. The title refers to the many messages about our civil rights deficits we have received and not attended to, and the author highlights the step-forward, step-backward nature of civil rights efforts in the US.
