Camarillo, Calif., Jan 12, 2012 – CSU Channel Islands (CI) invites the community to celebrate the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. by attending a performance of the civil rights leader’s most beloved speeches.
Educator/performer Steven Loewenstein will present his one-man show, “Montgomery to Memphis,” Thursday, Jan. 26, at 6 p.m. in Malibu Hall 100 on the CI campus. The event is free and open to the public.
Loewenstein, a Texas teacher, has traveled the country performing the show for audiences ranging from schools and universities to churches, civic groups and corporations.
