In the Belly of the Beast: MLK in Chicago
About this event
In his brief but profound path, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. trod many roads to many hamlets on his way to the mountaintop - including Chicago. The latter part of his career found him attempting to underscore his work down South with similar tactics and strategies here in Our Town. To learn more about this extraordinary time, join historian Clarence Goodman for In the Belly of the Beast: MLK in Chicago.
