Mike Honey on MLK & the Memphis Strike

(Metropolitan Washington Council, AFL-CIO)
Today at noon, Mike Honey, one of America’s foremost labor and civil rights historians will speak and sign copies of his new book, "Going Down Jericho Road: The Memphis Strike, Martin Luther King’s Last Campaign." Honey will share the workers’ stories at a lunch discussion and book-signing at the AFL-CIO, where he’ll recount how the strike became a local movement and then coalesced into the Poor People’s Campaign. A question-and-answer session will follow Honey’s slide and film presentation. Books will be available for sale, and the author will sign copies; bring your own lunch, refreshments provided.
