Community Meeting Room

Chicago historian, musician and storyteller Clarence Goodman guides us through Martin Luther King Jr.’s work in Chicago from 1956 until his life's end.

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 50 years ago. Join historian Clarence Goodman for a narrative on an extraordinary life.
