Screening The Inquisitor: Congresswoman Barbara Jordan’s Impact

 

“My faith in the Constitution is whole; it is complete; it is total.”

When Congresswoman Barbara Jordan spoke those words during the 1974 Nixon impeachment hearings, she didn't just captivate a nation—she set a fierce, unwavering standard for constitutional accountability. In this episode of The 707, host Michelle Marques takes listeners inside a special community screening of The Inquisitor, a gripping documentary from the PBS Independent Lens series that explores Jordan’s remarkable life, political brilliance, and lasting legacy.

Following a summary of the film, we share the powerful post-screening panel discussion featuring prominent Sonoma County leaders. They reflect on Jordan's historic impact and what her blueprint for leadership means for our local community today.
