The Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. has been portrayed to U.S. schoolchildren as a dreamer, with little emphasis on his history as a fighter against injustice. "Beyond the Dream," sponsored by the Black Caucus of the
DC Statehood Green Party, offers a more complete view of the man as a protestor against the Vietnam War, poverty and injustice who lost his life for sharing his analysis and taking a principled stance against the greatest purveyor of injustice and exploitation in the world – his own government.
This program also will include strategies to challenge the electoral college and extend the struggle for voting rights for our communities. The event is on Wednesday, March 16, from 7 to 9 p.m., at the University of the District of Columbia (Building 41, Room A04; UDC/Van Ness Metro).
