Library: Downtown Bend Public LibraryTwo of the most important voices in social change during the twentieth century, Martin Luther King Jr. and Malcolm X, galvanized the country through their speaking, leadership, and visions of the future. Perhaps no one inspired mainstream Americans than King - and no one frightened them more than X. But what the two of them accomplished was far more than the sum of their individual parts. This program will look at the ideas and actions of these two figures, as well as the compelling dynamic created by the two of them, and the sea change this dynamic helped inspire. *cr* Location: Brooks Room Contact: Liz Goodrich Contact Number: 541-312-1032 Presenter: Joel Clements |
