Lives Worth Living - Celebrating Martin Luther King, Jr. Day

I'm honored to have been asked to introduce and lead a discussion on the film 'Lives Worth Living' on January 16, 2012 as part of a Martin Luther King, Jr. Celebration in Watkins Glen, NY. The event is being sponsored by The Glen Theatre and The Arc of Schuyler. The film chronicles the disability rights movement and draws parallels between it and the civil rights movement led by Dr. King. Recently the film was aired on PBS as part of the 'Independent Lens' series.

Here is a link to the flyer for the event: Lives Worth Living Flyer

As I said, I'm honored to have been asked to participate. The Glen Theatre and The Arc are to be commended for bringing this free event to the general public and for commemorating the memory of Dr. King through education about the disability rights movement, mobilization and non-violent civil disobedience.
