Next Steps Show /w Clarence Henderson

This week our conversation includes a gentleman who together, with Joseph A. McNeil, Franklin E. McCain, and William Smith, was in the forefront of the civil rights battle as he bravely stepped up to boldly participate in the sit-in at the Woolworth’s diner, on Feb 2, 1960, igniting a movement in this country that changed the trajectory of this country forever – all without firing a shot, burning, steeling or otherwise causing harm.

His life chronicled with episodes of civil unrest in which he found himself thrust in the midst, he did (and continues to) do his part to bring awareness and change in a peaceful manner. Championing a new cause for a better America by challenging, motivating, and inspiring others to be aware and responsible for the world that surrounds them.

A champion for freedom and conservative values. A change agent striving to change the culture of “Liberty for a few” to a culture of “Liberty for All!”. The FDFNational.org National Spoke Person and President of the Frederick Douglass Foundation of North Carolina - the Hon. - The Notable Mr. Clarence Henderson

In 2000, Mr. Henderson was the recipient of the 40th Anniversary Sit-In Participant Award and in 2013 he was appointed by Governor Pat McCrory, to the Chairman seat on the North Carolina Martin Luther King Jr. Commission. In addition, Governor McCrory conferred in 2016 The Order of the Long Leaf Pine Award to Clarence with the rank of Ambassador Extraordinary. Mr. Henderson was appointed President of the Frederick Douglass Foundation for the State of North Carolina in May 2017 of which he currently serves. He also served on the advisory board of Black Voices for Trump from 2019 through 2020.

Mr. Henderson’s energetic involvement in his church as Head Elder, New Members Coordinator, Sunday school teacher, and Finance committee member; and his life’s journey as a teacher, college administrator, entrepreneur and motivational speaker has given him a unique perspective on what confronts society today.
