Whitney Young, Jr., the civil rights champion who negotiated with top leaders of industry and government to create greater opportunities for minorities, is the subject of a new documentary, The Powerbroker: Whitney Young's Fight for Civil Rights.

During the 1960s, as the executive director of the National Urban League, Young was one of the few African Americans who had the ears of those who controlled the levers of power: Fortune 500 CEOs, governors, senators, and presidents. He used these relationships to gain better access to employment, education, housing, and healthcare for African Americans, other minorities, and those in need. His unique position and approach earned him praise, but also scorn from the Black Power movement for being too close to the white establishment. While he is less known today than other leaders of the era because of the behind-the-scenes nature of his work, Young's legacy and influence are still felt profoundly.

Are You a Soul Food Junkie?

Don't miss our next film screening!

Join us for the screening of Soul Food Junkies by filmmaker Byron Hurt followed by our community discussion with wellness and lifestyle consultant Cheyenne English and Chef Ryan Douglas, executive chef for the Riverside Unified School District.    


When:   Sunday, Jan. 20, 2013 @ 2:00 p.m.
Where:  Riverside Public Library
                3581 Mission Inn Ave., Riverside, CA  92501 

Light refreshments will be served.




In Soul Food Junkies filmmaker Byron Hurt sets out on a historical and culinary journey to learn more about the soul food tradition and its relevance to black cultural identity. Hurt's exploration was inspired by his father's lifelong love affair with the high-fat, calorie-rich traditional soul food diet and his unwillingness to give it up even in the face of a life-threatening health crisis. Hurt discovers that the relationship between African Americans and culinary dishes like ribs, grits, and fried chicken is culturally based, deep-rooted, complex, and often deadly.
