ROSENBERG CULTURAL CENTER

 

Wednesday, January 14 -- 11:00am

"Life Changing Events of 1968" -- an interactive series with John Powers 

Powerful events in Memphis, Los Angeles, Chicago and Mexico Cityabruptly changed and shaped the social and political landscape for decades to come.

 

Through performance and visual imagery, "Mexico City" dramatizes the politics and violence that colored the Games of the XIX Olympiad.  In the aftermath of the assassinations of two major statesmen, unconventional leaders call for change in a nation caught in an unpopular war with urgent domestic needs.  Ittraces the emotional journey of world-class sprinter Tommie Smith from when he first comes to national prominence on the cover of Sports Illustrated magazine to the silent but powerful gesture on the victory pedestal in Aztec Stadium.  The dramatization also examines the student protests and massacre of innocents in the Plaza of Three Cultures days prior to Opening Ceremony. .Our matinee movie will be "I Am Ali."

 

Monday, January 19

Dr. Rev. Martin Luther King Holiday -- No Program

 

Wednesday, January 21 -- 11:00am

A few are sold to readers, collectors or students, raising funds for the continuation of the program and for partner charities. Books that they can't find a home for are recycled, saving trees. No book is ever thrown away.
