The two-hour Shining a Light: A Concert for Progress on Race in America program is scheduled to air Nov. 20. It will also feature a concert to be filmed Nov. 18 in Los Angeles.

A goal of the program is to raise money for the victims of racial violence and for organizations around the country working to promote racial equity.
