Where Do We Go From Here: Chaos or Community? - book discussion

• Location: Registration for virtual event
• Organization(s): Brandywine Hundred Library
• Adult, Discussion, Human rights

The Brandywine Hundred Non-fiction Book Group will facilitate a virtual discussion of Where Do We Go From Here: Chaos or Community by Martin Luther King, Jr. Register at https://delawarelibraries.libcal.com/event/15390857 to get the Zoom link for this event.

“In 1967, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., isolated himself from the demands of the civil rights movement, rented a house in Jamaica with no telephone, and labored over his final manuscript. In this prophetic work, which has been unavailable for more than ten years, he lays out his thoughts, plans, and dreams for America’s future, including the need for better jobs, higher wages, decent housing, and quality education. With a universal message of hope that continues to resonate, King demanded an end to global suffering, asserting that humankind-for the first time-has the resources and technology to eradicate poverty.” – Goodreads.com
