Apollo Uptown Hall:MLK And The Future Of Inclusion
For the 11th Annual Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Day celebration, WNYC and the Apollo Theater will partner for a fourth year to present “Where Do We Go From Here? MLK and the Future of Inclusion,” as part of the Apollo’s Uptown Hall series. WNYC’s Peabody Award-winning host Brian Lehrer and Jami Floyd, local host of WNYC’s All Things Considered, will moderate an open and honest discussion on the future of social justice movements in the wake of one of the most divisive general elections in recent history and the inauguration of President-elect Donald Trump.
Through one-on-one interviews, media presentations and a series of panels with leading voices in journalism, politics, activism, and social justice spheres – including New York Daily News Senior Justice Writer Shaun King, Black Lives Matter co-founder Opal Tometi, President of Brooklyn NAACP L. Joy Williams, and Senior Minister Emeritus of the Riverside Church Rev. James Forbes – “Where Do We Go From Here? MLK and the Future of Inclusion” will explore the themes presented in Dr. King’s seminal work, address what the challenges are for the next president, forecast what the Post-Obama years may be like, and recommend how individuals and groups can work together to effect change.
More scheduled guest speakers to attend.
