School for Moral Courage: Upcoming Events

Couple good things coming up the next two weekends:

Saturday, January 14, 2006, 2:30 p.m., Iowa City Library, Meeting Room A

Citizen King, a screening of the documentary illustrating a lesser-known chapter of the life of the Reverend Martin Luther King Jr. Much is known of Dr. King's tireless efforts as a civil rights leader, but in the last five years of his life, King spoke out against the Vietnam War and became an advocate for all of America's have-nots, regardless of race. This film explores King's work during those years, which caused some to accuse him of abandoning his original mission.
