Reading Themes:

  • 11:00 am – 11:30 am ET – “Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.”
  • 11:30 am – 12:00 pm ET – “Oppressed people cannot remain oppressed forever.”
  • 12:00 pm – 12:30 pm ET – “Why direct action?”
  • 12:30 pm – 1:00 pm ET – “The white moderate…”
  • 1:00 pm – 1:30 pm ET – “My dear fellow Clergymen…”
  • 1:30 pm – 2:00 pm ET – “The radiant stars of love…”

The event is comprised of six 30-minute, back-to-back sessions, so feel free to participate in just one session or tune in for all six.
