Description: 
During the civil rights movement, four foundations played an important role in funding the organizations driving social change. Because of their support and partnership, these foundations set an important precedent for philanthropy to support grassroots social justice organizations and achieve transformational change. Join us as we explore lessons from these change agents and apply them to important social justice issues of our time, such as ending discrimination and environmental injustice, securing a living wage and protecting voting rights.
