    MLK 365: The march for racial justice continues

    Monday, January 18, 2021 // 1:00 pm to 1:45 pm

    The march from Selma to Montgomery, Alabama, is recorded as an influential moment during the 1960s Civil Rights movement. In recent years, the Black Lives Matter movement has focused on achieving racial justice for Black and Brown communities. This session is designed to link civil protests' mission during the 1960s to the BLM movement for an action-orientated solution achieving racial justice.

    Monday, January 18, 2021 // 2:00 pm to 2:45 pm

    Bayard Rustin was an out gay man that worked alongside Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. in writing speeches. The Stonewall Riots occurring in 1969 sparked a resounding plea for equality of the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender community. This session will compare how the 1960s Civil Rights movement impacted and fueled cries for equal treatment based on gender and sexuality.
