MURFREESBORO — A
new audience awaits an audio encore of last month’s Constitution Day
celebration on the “MTSU On the Record” radio program.
Host Gina Logue will present a condensed version of a Sept.
17 panel discussion involving the Revs. C.T. Vivian and James Lawson that will
air from 5:30 to 6 p.m. Monday, Oct. 5, and from 8 to 8:30 a.m. Sunday, Oct.
11, on WMOT-FM (89.5 and www.wmot.org).
Moderated by MTSU doctoral student Aleia Brown, the event
titled “No Voice, No Choice: The Voting Rights Act at 50” took place at MTSU’s
Tucker Theatre. Topics ultimately ranged from income inequality to the use of
disruption as a social justice tactic.
Lawson said that the group Black Lives Matter “will be
coopted by the Democratic Party. They will be given jobs to run the
presidential campaign in 2016 so that the evolvement or emergence of Black
Lives Matter as an effective movement of change will be temporarily halted.”
In attacking the increasing distance between the “haves” and
the “have nots,” Vivian said, ”My fear right now is that the billionaires of
this nation … are going to make it seem as though we have a democracy, where,
in fact, that is in doubt.”
