How do false narratives take hold and become widely accepted as truth? In this thought-provoking webinar in honor of the 60th anniversary of the Selma Voting Rights Campaign and the Rev. James Reeb’s murder, journalists Andrew Grace and Chip Brantley of NPR’s White Lies podcast will explore the social and psychological forces that allow misinformation to spread and shape public perception. White Lies, an investigative podcast from NPR, examines the hidden truths behind Reeb’s 1965 murder in Selma, Alabama. Through real-world examples and historical context, this discussion will shed light on how societies come to believe—and even defend—falsehoods, and what it takes to challenge them.
All programs will be held on Zoom at 4:30 pm PT, 5:30 MT, 6:30 CT, and 7:30 ET. These webinars are free and open to the public, but registration is required. Donations are appreciated to support our ongoing educational efforts.
