Reverend Dr. James A. Forbes, Jr. of The Riverside Church spoke at Breakthrough's public forum, "Why Can't America Have Human Rights?" at The Riverside Church in New York City on September 14, 2006. The event, co-sponsored by 70 organizations, attracted 600 guests, including community members, students, and leaders. The speakers and performers were united in their platform— we must take a stand against abuses and create a much needed human rights movement in the United States.

Does anyone have a video of Dr. Forbes responding to Amadou Diallo's murder in 1999 at Riverside? I was blessed to have been there that day and that sermon was indescribable. I would love to hear or see it again.

He was a teacher of mine. I always count it a privilege as well as a pleasure to hear words of divine wisdom uttered so eloquently from this mans heart and lips.
