Join us Sunday, January 18, at 11am in person or on ZOOM as LUUF member Carol Swift presents
"Martin Luther King's Other Speeches"
Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. would have been 97 on January 15. Instead he was assassinated at the age of 39. In those 39 years, Martin Luther King Jr. brought to the attention of the American public a series of social and political issues that helped change the social and legal landscape of the United States.
He did not do this suddenly or with one or two brilliant speeches. He delivered
over 2,500 public speeches between 1957 and his assassination in 1968. The subject of those speeches changed over time as the issues changed. We will look at how his focus changed as the circumstances within the country changed, and at some of his lesser known but pivotal speeches reflecting his stance on issues that still resonate to this day.
All are invited for Coffee and Conversation after the Service.
