On Saturday, Brian Jones spoke at Scuppernong books. He is the Associate Director of the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture in New York. He spoke about the radical legacy of Martin Luther King, Jr. About one of the best things someone can do to understand fully what was happening at the time while Dr. King was alive is to listen to his speeches and to read his 1967 book, "Where Do We Go From Here?".
The talk was sponsored by the Greensboro Socialists and approximately 40 people were in attendance. Regardless of political beliefs, it was so informative. Greensboro has many interesting guest speakers, through the Bryan series, the presentations at all the local universities, and the speakers of special interest groups and organizations. Check in with Scuppernong often as they are always hosting informative events.
A worthy topic Janis. Mr Jones looks like he knows how to hold his audience's attention ✨

Sounds like an interesting talk.
I have been in touch with Lowell in Ocala. He has had some serious health problems. He seems to be doing better now, but still not up to blogging. Hopefully he will be back when he is feeling up to it, because he says he misses all of his blogging friends so much. I will tell him you were asking about him.
