Centers on the unlikely relationship between Ann Atwater, an outspoken civil rights activist, and C.P. Ellis, a local Ku Klux Klan leader who reluctantly co-chaired a community summit, battling over the desegregation of schools in Durham, North Carolina during the racially-charged summer of 1971. The incredible events that unfolded would change Durham and the lives of Atwater and Ellis forever.

I’m used to it in public engagements too, with respect to civic planning. It features in the story/movie The Best of Enemies[0], set in contentious public policy hearings. Worth watching.

American. Never heard it before the movie 'Best of Enemies.' Neat idea.
