Reclaiming the Northern Black Freedom Struggle: A Conversation with Dr. Jeanne Theoharis, Author of King of the North

Reclaiming the Northern Black Freedom Struggle: A Conversation with Dr. Jeanne Theoharis, Author of King of the North

Join us for an author talk with historian and New York Times bestselling author Dr. Jeanne Theoharis as she explores her newly published book King of the North: Martin Luther King Jr.’s Life of Struggle Outside the South in conversation with Amber N. Mitchell, Curator of Black History at The Henry Ford. King of the North offers a radical reframing of the life and work of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., illuminating his activism beyond the American South. This event aligns with The Henry Ford’s annual commemoration of Dr. King’s legacy and our ongoing dedication to sharing America’s stories of courage, equality and resilience. The conversation will be followed by a brief Q&A and book signing with the opportunity to purchase a copy of King of the North.
