The discussion tour is set to tackle topics related to the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. ahead of the dedication of his memorial in D.C.
The Table of Brotherhood tour hosted by CNN analyst Roland Martin kicks off Saturday at Atlanta’s Morehouse College.
The four-city discussion tour, which is open to the public, will feature groups of notable panelists discussing topics related to Dr. Martin Luther King’s legacy, ahead of the unveiling of the Martin Luther King Jr. National Memorial in Washington D.C. later this month.
Panelists at Saturday’s discussion include filmmaker Spike Lee, MLK National Memorial Foundation Chief Marketing Strategist Ty Christian, Rep. John Lewis (D-Ga.), author Lisa Nichols and the Rev. Otis Moss Jr. of Cleveland’s Mount Olivet Institutional Baptist Church, just to name a few.
