Florida Talks Speaker Event The Magnificent Drama: Martin Luther King in St. Augustine

1:00 PM - 2:00 PM
Leesburg Public Library
Meeting Room A

Event Details

The civil rights movement in St. Augustine drew national attention when Martin Luther
King, Jr. visited twice in 1964, sparking marches, arrests, and clashes between protesters
and police on the tourist-lined beaches of St. Augustine. Local and national objectives
complemented and contradicted each other in ways that affect race relations today.
Dr. J. Michael Butler is the Kenan Distinguished Professor of History at Flagler College, where
he has taught since August 2008.

This in person event at the library will feature Dr. J. Michael Butler live on the big screen.  He will interact with the audience for Q&A.  Enjoy this unique way to enjoy quality programming as a watch party!

 

Sponsored in part by the State of Florida, Department of State, Division of Arts and Culture, the Florida Council on Arts and Culture, and the National Endowment for the Arts.
