Janet Langhart Cohen Speaking Topics

  • Two Americas: Race Relations in the U.S.

    Race relations remain a topic of national debate that the country has collectively experienced during the current revolutionary presidential election. As our nation develops a more realistic, socio-cultural view of the world, it appears that 50 years from now there will be no single majority group in the United States. This evolution poses enormous opportunities for race relations and demands historical context and continued dialogue in order to directly impact our workforce, fiscal policies, and personal lives. Based on her two books regarding racial relations and her recently debuted play, Anne and Emmett, Langhart Cohen describes the two Americas she has experienced as a poor black girl growing up in the projects and as the wife of a powerful white Republican former secretary of defense. Along the way, she struggled against racial limitations. In this powerful presentation, Langhart Cohen shares:

    Her insights on current race relations

    Her faith in the nations ability to overcome its troubled racial history

    Perspective on the work that remains to be done to achieve true racial harmony and equity

  • A Conversation with the Cohens

    Janet Langhart, an African American, was raised by her Southern Baptist single mother in Indianapolis, Indiana. She progressed to a career as an accomplished journalist and correspondent. William Cohen, the son of a Jewish father and Protestant Irish mother, was born and raised in Bangor, Maine. He was eventually elected as the Republican senator from Maine. After meeting in 1974, Langhart and Cohen were married in the U.S. Capitol in 1996. Less than 50 years earlier, their marriage would have been illegal. As described in their book Love in Black and White: A Memoir of Race, Religion, and Romance, the couple share with audiences their inspiring story of how two high-profile people of different racial and religious backgrounds have managed to overcome the long and troubled history of race and romance in the U.S. The Cohens discuss:

    Changes in attitude about race and interracial romance

    Racial and ethnic prejudices they have overcome individually and animosity they have occasionally faced as a couple

    Their views on current race relations.
