Like virtually everyone in Newark during the 1967 rebellion, resident Sandra King was moved and changed by those lawless days and nights – by the tanks that, for days, patrolled her street, by the loss of life, and the social upheaval.

Twenty years ago, on the 20th anniversary of the Newark riots, King produced and directed an award-winning NJN documentary Newark: The Slow Road Back that examined the causes, events, victims, and consequences of an uprising that ended in the deaths of 26 people.

To commemorate this 40th anniversary, King moderates a two-part in-studio panel discussion featuring many of the people who participated in her original documentary. The program looks forward to where the slow road has led – and where it is going.
