The Magnificent Drama:
Martin Luther King in St. Augustine 

February 15 from 6:30 - 7:30 pm


Have you ever been curious about the role Florida played in the civil rights movement? We have decided to join a Florida Humanities program about Martin Luther King in St Augustine for our program this month. Hopefully some day soon we will be able to visit the Lincolnville Museum to learn even more.

Join us virtually on Zoom to see Dr. J. Michael Butler present The Magnificent Drama: Martin Luther King in St. Augustine. Butler is the Kenan Distinguished Professor of History at Flagler College. The fascinating program is about the civil rights movement in St. Augustine that drew national attention when Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. visited twice in 1964, sparking marches, arrests, and clashes between protesters and police on the tourist-lined beaches of St. Augustine.
This program is free to attend, however, registration is required.

February 14— “Hamnet,” by Maggie O’Farrell.  Drawing on O’Farrell’s long-term fascination with the little-know story behind Shakespeare’s most enigmatic play Hamlet. England 1580: The Black Death creeps across the land, an ever-present threat, infecting the healthy, the sick and the old and the young alike, but life goes on. A luminous portrait of a marriage, a shattering evocation of a family ravaged by the death of a son, whose life has been all but forgotten and whose name was given to one of the most celebrated plays of all time. Hamnet is mesmerizing, seductive, impossible to put down.
