Join President, Yusef D. Jackson and the Rainbow PUSH Coalition on Saturday, September 26, as we welcome renowned scholar, author and ethical leadership expert Dr. Walter Earl Fluker to Saturday Morning Forum.

Dr. Fluker will discuss his book, Wake Up Running: Building Democratic Space at the Crossings, and join us for a book signing following the program.
