Abstract

As part of the 1964 Civil Rights Act, Congress created the little-known Community Relations Service (CRS). CRS has since become known as "America's Peacemakers" -- a nod to this small federal agency's outsized role resolving conflicts and restoring peaceful relations in American communities struggling with civil rights violations and hate crimes. In this special episode, former CRS associate director Julius Nam shares a personal account of the Trump administration's attempt to kill CRS and how stakeholders are fighting back to save America's Peacemakers.
