The twentieth century Civil Rights Movement
transformed America by ending segregation and creating equal opportunities for African Americans to participate more fully in society. From the Brown v. Board of Education decision of 1954 through the passage of the Voting Rights Act of 1965, countless men and women joined ranks in the quest for racial justice and equality. Civil Rights historian Vicki Crawford will discuss some of the major events of the movement with Mrs.Christine King Farris, the older sister of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and an activist in her own right. The conversation will focus on Mrs. Farris’ recollections of Dr. King’s leadership as well as the legacy left by his recently departed widow, Mrs.Coretta Scott King.
