A series of screenings of an extraordinary film about Martin Luther King Jr are being planned in Baptist churches and other venues around the country

 
MLKFlyer1The film King: From Montgomery to Memphis is a rarely seen documentary made in 1970 that traces King’s life and accomplishments from the 1955 bus boycott to his 1968 assassination.

The first takes place in London on 23 June at Bloomsbury Central Baptist Church, where King preached in 1961.
 
Following the screening, there will be a post-film panel discussion with leading contributors including Dr.David Muir, Dionne Gravesande, Richard Reddie, Neil Jameson, Selina Stone, Eleasah Louis and Professor Robert Beckford.
