The program will air Friday, Sept.
26 at 8 p.m. It was produced by
WGBH Boston in partnership with
the Nine Network/KETC in St. Louis
and WETA in Washington, D.C.
While the facts of the case are
still in dispute, for many the story of
Ferguson has become a symbol of
the larger social divides in America,
exposing a persistent disconnect
along lines o f race, class and iden
tity.
Through conversations and spe
c ial re p o rts, “A m erica a fte r
Gwen Ifill
Ferguson” will explore these com
plex questions raised by the events
in Ferguson.
“The upheaval in F erguson
stirred up an all too familiar stew of
debate over race, justice and citi
zenship," Ifill said. "It's a discus
sion fueled by community outrage
and resentment on all sides, but it is
one that shouldn't end. Our town
hall conversation will shed light
rather than heat on the topic, as we
seek out the voices interested in
digging deeper.”

Rosa Parks Papers Shared
The Library of Congress will be
the new home of the Rosa Parks
Collection thanks to a 10-year loan
of the archives from the Howard G.
Buffett Foundation.
The collection comprises ap
proximately 1,500 items including
personal correspondence and pho
tographs, autobiographical notes,
letters from presidents, her Presi
dential Medal of Freedom and Con
gressional Gold Medal, additional
honors and awards, clothing and
furniture, and 200 drawings by
schoolchildren and hundreds of
greeting cards from individuals
thanking her for her inspirational
role in the civil rights movement.
Items from the collection will be
incorporated into the new exhibi
tion “The Civil Rights Act of 1964:
A Long Struggle for Freedom,”
which opened this month in Wash
ington, D.C. In addition, the library
will digitize the documents and vi
sual materials and make them widely
available through its website.
“Rosa Parks is an iconic figure in
the American civil rights movement,
the very definition of the quiet power
of an individual to inspire action in
others,” said James H. Billington,
librarian of Congress. “This collec
tion joins our unparalleled holdings
of African-American materials in a
public institution.”
