The MLK Jr. Chautauqua Series on Equality and Justice on College Teaching Monday, April 14, 2008 Light refreshments will be served Martin Luther King, Jr.'s famous "I Have Been to the Mountaintop" speech was delivered on April 3, 1968 in Memphis, the day before he was assassinated. This program is a "memorial" to remember that Dr. King went to Memphis as part of his Poor People's Campaign, but he also went there because thirteen hundred sanitation workers had been on strike for higher wages, equality and respect. What some have called his "Last Campaign", a brief segment of the film, "At the River I Stand will be shown. This film is described as a persuasive and moving argument for the position that the Memphis sanitation strike was the culmination of the civil rights struggle in the South.
