“Unjust laws exist,” says Henry David Thoreau. And what are we going to do about it? We attend to Thoreau’s famous essay “Civil Disobedience”, and the story of Thoreau’s imprisonment that lies behind the essay, and its connection with Martin Luther King and other advocates of “peaceful revolution”, interspersed with music from Taj Mahal, The Band, Aretha Franklin, and Bernice Johnson Reagon. You are invited to attend.
