MLK events, Tuesday Jan. 19, 2016

Rally Discussion & Debrief – 12:30pm PUB 9208

Shoreline joined the MLK Jr. Day March & Rally in Seattle on Jan. 18. Join us for an informal discussion reflecting on the March and the power of demonstrations.

Selma Movie (1st showing) – 1:30pm approximately (Follows Rally Discussion)

Although the Civil Rights Act of 1964 legally desegregated the South, discrimination was still rampant in certain areas, making it very difficult for blacks to register to vote. In 1965, an Alabama city became the battleground in the fight for suffrage. Despite violent opposition, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. (David Oyelowo) and his followers pressed forward on an epic march from Selma to Montgomery, and their efforts culminated in President Lyndon Johnson signing the Voting Rights Act of 1965. (128 minutes) Join us for the discussions on Thursday, Jan. 21.
