About this event
W.T. Bland Public Library (Mount Dora) - Community Room, W.T. Bland Public Library (Mount Dora). The civil rights movement in St. Augustine drew national attention when Martin Luther King, Jr. visited twice in 1964, sparking marches, arrests, and clashes between protesters and police on the tourist-lined beaches. Join Dr. J. Michael Butler, Kenan Distinguished Professor of History at Flagler College, to discover how local and national objectives complemented and contradicted each other in ways that affect race relations today.
