Author John Caher will join us for a discussion of Williams’ life and legacy and a viewing of the award-winning 30-minute PBS documentary of the same name.
In A Bridge to Justice: The Life of Franklin H. Williams, John Caher of Clifton Park explores the impact of a “hidden figure” civil rights attorney inappropriately relegated to the footnotes of history. Caher co-authored the book and was the primary writer of the documentary.
John Caher, a former reporter and editor of the Albany Times Union and bureau chief for the New York Law Journal, is the author or co-author of eight books. He currently works for the New York State Unified Court System as Senior Advisor for Strategic and Technical Communications.
