On the next Central Issues, looking at the legacy of civil rights activist, George Wiley.  The late George Wiley was an organic chemistry professor at Syracuse University in the 1960s.  He founded the Syracuse chapter of the Congress of Racial Equality, a civil rights group.  After leaving Syracuse, Wiley established the Poverty/Rights Action Center in Washington D.C., and the National Welfare Rights Organization.  Syracuse University’s 12th annual Sojourner Storytelling Conference will honor Wiley for his accomplishments.  We’ll be joined by Marian Kramer, National Welfare Rights Organization, Herb Ruffin, Ph.D., African American Studies, Syracuse University, and Kendall Phillips, Ph.D., Syracuse University.   Watch Central Issues tonight at 6:30PM on WCNY 24.1; 8:00PM, on WCNY 24.2; and 10:00PM Time Warner Cable 12.  All times EST.
