Flashback to this day last year: Jill Savitt, President & CEO of the Center, joined The Social Impact Leader podcast for a powerful conversation on advocacy, justice, and what it really means to lead social change with host Jeff Shinabarger. She shared her perspective on the government’s obligation to its people, the social contract, and the tension between mindset and mission in civil and human rights work. One moment still resonates: “The backlash to Black success during Reconstruction was complete It's where you get Black Codes, and Jim Crow, and the complete suppression of a people that doesn't get addressed until the 50s and 60s.” As we prepare to reopen with Broken Promises, a new gallery focused on Reconstruction and its legacy, her words still echo. *Images shown are meant to support the conversation visually and are not part of our “Broken Promises” exhibition. #leadthechange #reconstructionera #JillSavitt #socialimpactleader #civilrightsmovement #truthandtransformation #atlhistory (fb)
