Garrow will present the annual Kelso Lecture in Honor of Martin Luther King Jr. Sun., Jan. 17 at 3:30 p.m. Garrow will speak on the theme "The Political Evolution of MLK." It is important to appreciate how hugely Dr. King's political views evolved between 1955 and 1968, and particularly how they changed during the last five years of his life. Within two years of King's 1963 "I Have A Dream" speech at the March on Washington, he began to feel increasingly pessimistic about both America's behavior in the world and the prospects for any further social justice progress on the US domestic scene. This event is held in cooperation with the East End Cooperative Ministry and Morningside Church of God in Christ. Learn more: http://www.pts.edu/Kelso_2016.
