Another View Special Edition: "Let Freedom Ring"

Since the earliest days of our nation, churches, synagogues and mosques have been gathering places where people of faith share common bonds, the desire to do good work, to improve our lives and to help others. During this special edition of Another View we explore these bonds and the role of religion in freedom movements. See how the First Baptist Church, founded by enslaved men and women in 1776, has been a part of the struggle for freedom and how the Colonial Williamsburg Foundation has brought new life to a long silent part of the church's history. Another View Producer, Lisa Godley hosts this important conversation with special guests: Reverend Reginald Davis, Pastor of the First Baptist Church in Williamsburg; Linda Rowe, a historian with the Colonial Williamsburg Foundation; Imam Shaykh Ammar Amonette, of the Islamic Center of Virginia; Rabbi David Katz, of Temple Beth El and Balfour Hillel at the College of William and Mary; Reverend Max Blalock, of the Wesley Foundation at William and Mary and Reverend Christopher Epperson, rector of Bruton Parish Church. It's a conversation about the role of religion in freedom movements. The special hour long broadcast was presented by the Colonial Williamsburg Foundation and simulcasted live on Tuesday, January 19th at 1pm on WHRV 89.5-FM. "Another View: Let Freedom Ring" will air on WHRO-TV at 3p, Sunday, February 21st and on WHRO-World at 8p, Tuesday, February 23rd.
