Ebony Road Players present “The Meeting” – a play

2:00 – 3:00 PM

Mark your calendar to enjoy a theater performance by the Ebony Road Players, as they present “The Meeting.” You won’t want to miss this moving play, which depicts the supposed meeting of Malcolm X and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.  Differing in their philosophies, but alike in their mutual respect, the two men debate their varying approaches to the same grave social problems, both prepared to die for their beliefs but neither aware of how soon their assassins’ bullets await them.  This performance will be from 2-3 PM, on Saturday, February 22 at Hackley Library. All ages are welcome!  This event is free.
