Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.: A Review of Phase I and Phase II of His Life

January 24, 2015 @ 11:30 am - 12:30 pm

Free

Dr. Martin L. King, Jr. was a multi-dimensional man all too often remembered solely for his “I Have a Dream” speech delivered at the March on Washington in 1963. Yet, there was another Dr. King that emerged after the Selma to Montgomery march and the subsequent Voting Rights Act of 1965. It was this King that was no longer invited to President Johnson’s White House and it was this King who believed the war in Viet Nam was unjust, evil, and futile. How familiar are you, really, with Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.?
