About Action Speaks

Action Speaks is a series of contemporary topic-driven panel discussions framed by the theme "Underappreciated Dates that Changed America." The panels take place Wednesdays in October, National Arts & Humanities Month, at AS220 in downtown Providence. They are recorded, edited, and rebroadcast the following Sunday on Rhode Island's NPR station, WRNI 1290 AM. Films pertaining to the topics are shown each Monday on Rhode Island PBS prior to Wednesday's panel discussion, providing a multi-media foundation for each issue.

Since 1995, Action Speaks has been committed to enhancing cultural life in the capital by providing high-quality, intellectually unbiased discourse between scholars, artists, students, and citizens.
