Join historian Clarence Goodman for a narrative of the extraordinary life of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

Dr. Martin Luther King's journey to the mountaintop included many stops along the way. Between Montgomery and Memphis, he visited Chicago many times in pursuit of justice. History seems to have ignored or forgotten these incredible chapters in his life, and today they feel as relevant as they were over 50 years ago. Historian Clarence Goodman will discuss the rise of race issues around the city and share stories of how Dr. King took on Mayor Richard J. Daley to push for better living conditions.
