Description
On June 18-21, 2007, thousands of progressives came to the Take Back America Conference in Washington, DC, to network, strategize and share ideas. Highlander’s own Elandria Williams was at the conference, participating in a panel entitled "We've Got Issues: Issues That Face Young People."
Elandria spoke passionately about the problems facing young people in Appalachia and the South, about the history of organizing in the region, and about the strengths that have enabled its people to continue fighting for change. And she challenged conference participants to "flip the script and not let rich people, no matter what shade they are - but mostly white - control our agenda."
