In observance of Black History Month, the Toledo-Lucas County Public Library joins Buckeye-CableSystem ® and tvOne ™ to present the film MLK: A Dream Deferred scheduled at 7 p.m. on Thursday, February 21 in the McMaster Center at Main Library, 325 Michigan St.
This free and open to the public event will feature a question and answer segment after the showing of the hour-long film.
MLK: A Dream Deferred is a tvOne ™ special hosted by actor Isaiah Washington which compares the state of race relations in America forty years after the death of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. against the words and dreams that the legendary civil rights leader wrote and spoke during his lifetime. The documentary also explores how the lives of black Americans have changed in the aftermath of Dr. King’s fight for segregation and racial harmony.
Noted African American celebrities, including Halle Berry, Sanaa Lathan, Regina King and Hill Harper, speak excerpts from Dr. King’s most famous speeches throughout the special.
This event is presented by the Toledo-Lucas County Public Library,
