As part of our MLK 101 Series, the Livingston Diversity Council, in partnership with the Howell Carnegie District Library and Huron-Clinton Metroparks, is bringing a free community screening of the 2018 documentary film “I am MLK, Jr.” to the Historic Howell Theater. This documentary explores the life of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and his impact on civil rights through the present day. Following the film, we will hear from expert panelists representing academia, grassroots activism, and what the fight for civil rights looks like today.

Panelists include:
* Victoria Burton-Harris, Chief Assistant Prosecuting Attorney, Washtenaw County Prosecutor’s Office
* Dr. Patricia Coleman-Burns, Assistant Professor Emerita of Nursing and Black Studies, University of Michigan
* Anthony Lewis, Director of Community Engagement, Michigan Department of Civil Rights

Freelance journalist Jon King will moderate the discussion. The film is not rated, but we recommend ages 13 and up due to the language and content.

No registration is required. Doors open at 6:30 pm, with a show time of 7:00 pm. The panel discussion runs 8:45-9:30 pm.
