[Orlando Sepulveda]

Martin Luther King & the Struggle for Black Liberation

Tuesday, January 17 - 7:30pm
Experimental Station
6100 S Blackstone Ave

Martin Luther King is justifiably famous for being the untiring leader of the civil rights movement of the 1960s. Less well known is that toward the end of his life, MLK began to see that a radical, socio-economic change would have to take place in society before African Americans could truly be free from racism and oppression. As he told a reporter in 1968, “you could say we’re involved in the class struggle.” 

Come hear a presentation by activist and Socialist Worker columnist, Keeanga Yamahtta Taylor, and join us for a discussion on the radical Martin Luther King.
