A continuation of WNYC’s long-standing Martin Luther King Jr. celebration and a part of Carnegie Hall’s Sixties Project, WNYC and the Apollo are proud to unite again the existing Apollo Uptown Hall:
WNYC’s Peabody Award-winning host Brian Lehrer and Jami Floyd, local host of All Things Considered, will moderate meaningful conversations examining Dr. King’s legacy and its impact on modern social justice movements. Through a lively mix of one-on-one intervivews and panels featuring notable guests, they will commemorate the legacy of Dr. King. Unsung Champions of Civil Rights from MLK to today. This event will also place special emphasis on some of the lesser-known names who, nevertheless, were crucial in making both the Civil Rights Movement of the 1960s and today’s social issue movements successful. The “unsung will include women, members of the LGBTQ community and others who didn’t receive warranted, timely, or lasting recognition.
