Those two simple words transformed the movement from the nonviolent philosophy of Martin Luther King Jr. and John Lewis in the turbulent and transformative year of 1966.\n\nIn his new book, "Saying It Loud: 1966—The Year Black Power Challenged the Civil Rights Movement," journalist and author Mark Whitaker tells the story of the trials and triumphs of the Black Power generation. He takes us inside the movement and shows why the lessons from 1966 still resonate in the era of Black Lives Matter and the continuing battles over voting rights, identity politics, and the teaching of Black history.\n\nOn Tuesday, March 14, at 6 p.m. ET, join us online for a very special premiere of a discussion between Whitaker and Eugene Robinson, Pulitzer Prize–winning columnist for the Washington Post. Will include a live YouTube text chat Q&A with Whitaker.\n\nProduced in partnership with the NYU Law Black Allied Law Students Association\n https://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2023/03/08/18854796.php SUMMARY:Black Power & Civil Rights History Talk w/ Journalist & Author, Mark Whitaker LOCATION:Online event URL:https://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2023/03/08/18854796.php DTSTART:20230314T220000Z DTEND:20230314T220000Z END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
