The event, which will be held in Birmingham, Ala., is part of a larger community event sponsored by the STRICKLAND U.S. Conference of Mayors to commemorate Birmingham's role in the civil rights movement of 1963 and the 50th anniversary of the bombing of the 16th Street Baptist Church, which killed four young girls.

Working with the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization and the U.S. Department of State, the Conference of Mayors is establishing the U.S. Coalition of Cities Against Racism and Discrimination as part of the International Coalition of Cities Against Racism.

There are 1,295 such cities in the country today, and each city is represented in the Conference by its chief elected official, the mayor. The panel discussion will be held on Thurs., Sept. 12 at 7 a.m. Pacific Standard Time (9 a.m. Central Standard Time). Mayors Michael Nutter of Philadelphia, Mitch Landrieu of New Orleans and Paul Soglin of Madison, Wis. will join Mayor Strickland on this panel. The event will air live on C-SPAN.
