Freedom to Serve: An Initiative of Maxwell Air Force Base and Montgomery Alabama Inspired by the Legacy of Rosa Parks

<p>In this special edition of <strong>Wilson Center NOW</strong>, we are joined by <strong>Col. Eries Mentzer</strong>, 42nd Air Base Wing Commander of Maxwell Air Force Base and <strong>Steven Reed</strong>, Mayor of Montgomery, Alabama, for a discussion of a diversity and inclusion partnership they launched on the 65th anniversary of Rosa Parks' iconic bus protest. Col. Mentzer is the first African- American woman to command Maxwell and Mayor Reed is the first African-American chief executive to be elected since the city's incorporation in 1819. </p>
