Senior Services for South Sound invite the community to an engaging conversation with Dr. Sherman Beverly, Gary Gerst, and Sara Theissen about Civil Rights today and yesterday.
The civil rights movement, led by Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and many other men and women, brought significant change to our nation, such as the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965. Despite these laws, discrimination and unequal treatment of people not in the majority persists. The civil rights movement continues today in a modern version, exemplified by Black Lives Matter.
