Hosted By: Strauss Moore Shiple / Amanda Robertson Dr. Howard Thurman is arguably the man who was most influencial on Dr. Martin Luther Kings' development of his non-violent stance on racial segregation and civil rights. Since the topic is racial healing, and this is the weekend that the country celebrates MLK's work and accomplishments, it is fitting to learn about someone who had such a profound impact on the life of Dr. King. We will view the documentary, "Backs Against the Wall: The Howard Thurman Story," about the formation of the Civil Rights Movement and Dr. Thurman's role in it. Refreshments will be provided by The Coffee Roastery. a casual, non-profit coffee shop providing employment opportunities for adults with special needs. Venue: The Episcopal Church of the Good Shepherd.
