Tina Cassidy discusses social movements, from the Progressive Era of the early 1900s, which spawned the suffrage and labor movements, the Civil Rights, anti-war and environmental movements of the '60s to today's Black Lives Matter struggle. We'll discuss protest as a force for change, whether social movements need both a Malcom X and a Martin Luther King to sustain their energy, and how protest and social movements are thriving (or being disrupted) in the age of social media.  This event will be held online via Zoom. Registration required.
