Please see the attached flyer for Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Lecture and Discussion.
Born on January 15th, 1929, Martin Luther King, Jr. was the iconic social activist who played a key role in the American Civil Rights movement, up until his assassination in 1968. Inspired by advocates such as Mahatma Gandhi, King paved the way for nonviolent, peaceful protests during a time of unrest and violent retaliation. King faced criticism from clergy leaders in Birmingham, Alabama because they saw him as an outsider and an agitator, and when King did not refrain from his peaceful protests in Birmingham, he was arrested for civil disobedience. While in jail, he wrote a letter explaining why “injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.” Letter From a Birmingham Jail became one of the most important texts of the Civil Rights Movement.
Our Guest Speaker, Rev. Marsha Lee-Watson will discuss his life, legacy, and explore the meaning behind the historic document he wrote while incarcerated. For further information, contact 908-737-3915 or visit our Office in Hutchinson Hall, Suite 103 S & T.
