Adults and teens are invited to commemorate the 90th anniversary of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.'s birth. Dr. King's powerful anti-war speech and one of his most controversial works, "Beyond Vietnam: A Time to Break Silence," will be read.
Dr. Terri Jett, Associate Professor of Political Science at Butler University, will lead this community conversation about the work's continued relevance.
Established as the Broadway Branch in 1924, the library served the neighborhood from a frame house on E. 42nd Street until 1958 when a 6,500-square-foot facility opened on Broadway Street. This aging and overcrowded building was replaced in August 2000 with the current 16,000-square-foot structure on College Avenue that was renamed the College Avenue Branch.
