Friend, Don’t forget to join us virtually at the Civil Rights Memorial Center this Friday at 12 p.m. Eastern for a panel discussion commemorating the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Click here to register, or see below for more details. After the events of this past week, it’s clear that we need to hear Dr. King’s teachings just as much now as we did 50 years ago. When we pressed “send” on the below invite last Wednesday, we had no idea that just minutes later a violent mob would begin to storm our nation’s Capitol. Hate and extremism are still undeniable existential threats to our society. The fight for racial, economic and social justice is far from over. In this event, we’ll discuss how to learn from Dr. King’s example and share strategies for how to continue the march for justice – strategies we will need in the weeks, months and years ahead. Please join us. In solidarity, Your friends at the SPLC
From: Southern Poverty Law Center Dear Friend, The Civil Rights Memorial Center invites you to a panel discussion commemorating the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. The event – The March Continues: Building Collective Power to Impact Policy and Dismantle Systems of Oppression in 2021 and Beyond – will take place on Jan. 15, Dr. King’s 92nd birthday. The panel will feature activists and public servants from across the Deep South and beyond, and will include a special message by civil rights activist Sheyann Webb-Christburg, named by Dr. King as the “Smallest Freedom Fighter” and co-author of the book Selma, Lord, Selma. During the event, panelists will reflect on Dr. King’s legacy and the example of civil disobedience he set for future generations that are continuing the fight for racial, economic and social justice. They will also discuss strategies for organizing around these issues to effect change in government and local communities. The March Continues: Building Collective Power to Impact Policy and Dismantle Systems of Oppression in 2021 and Beyond Friday, Jan. 15 We hope you will join us as we honor the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and share strategies for continuing the march for justice.
