"Traction":www.gettraction.org and the Co-op join forces to add our collective voice to the chorus celebrating the life and legacy of the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King.

Join us on *Tuesday 1/16* to watch an episode of "Eyes on the Prize" (an amazing documentary series covering the civil rights movement), wherein Martin speaks out on war and class issues, and hear from local civil rights heroes & sheroes.

We'll watch *Episode 10: The Promised Land (1967-68)*, wherein Dr. King speaks out against the war in Vietnam and embarks on a Poor People's Campaign, calling for a radical redistribution of economic power.

Before the film, we'll hear from some *LOCAL civil rights heroes and sheroes*, including R. Kelly Bryant, Jr., a leader of a large-scale 1968 boycott calling for changes in welfare, housing, and employment practices in Durham. Read about it here: "www.durhamcountylibrary.org/dcrhp/selective.htm":http://www.durhamcountylibrary.org/dcrhp/selective.htm

And you'll learn about ongoing civil rights work, including Traction's role in the VERY exciting NC NAACP-led People's Assembly known as H K on J (Historic Thousands on Jones St.), coming up on Feb 10th in Raleigh.

*Mark Tuesday 1/16 on your calendar!*
