What: Communicating the Dr. King Way
Where: Pensacola Public Library, 239 N. Spring St., Pensacola
When: Tuesday May 9 5:30 pm
PENSACOLA—Join us as we take inspiration from the words and life of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.. We’ll learn more about Dr. King from someone who knew him–Jawana V. Jackson–Founder of The House by the Side of the Road. Mrs. Jackson’s family regularly hosted Dr. King in her home while she was growing-up in Selma, Alabama, including a six month stay by Dr. King as he planned the Selma to Montgomery March.
Mike Will, Pensacola State College Professor of English, helps us better understand what made Dr. King such an effective communicator. Mr. Will explores elements of Dr. King’s I Have a Dream speech, and how we can learn to better structure our oral communication. Examples of current environmental issues will be used to demonstrate more effective communication skills.
This event is a joint project of Healthy Gulf, 350 Pensacola and Climate Together Pensacola. For more information: christian@healthygulf.org
