Event
The legacy of Martin Luther King Jr.
The conversation is in English. The event is free, all you have to do is sign up here. Welcome!
Nobel Prize winner Martin Luther King Jr. is one of the 20th century's greatest icons. But who was he really, the pastor, civil rights activist, and advocate of non-violence who, at only 35 years old, received the Nobel Peace Prize, only to be shot and killed four years later?
Earlier this year, author Jonathan Eig won the Pulitzer Prize for King: A Life – the first new biography of Martin Luther King Jr. in several decades. In a book that goes behind the facade and is based on previously classified documents, King is portrayed as a fallible human being but also as a charismatic leader, sharp thinker, and brilliant strategist.
Listen to Jonathan Eig in conversation about King's remarkable life with author and journalist Linn Stalsberg.
The event is held in collaboration with Verbum Publishing, which is also releasing the book King: A Life. There will be a book signing and possibility to purchase the book.
Doors open at 18:30. Programme starts at 19.00.
