| Jan 9 Living Room Conversations: More Curious, Less Furious |
Please join Living Room Conversations where small groups discuss a variety of topics to better understand everyone's point of view. We promote conversations about the subject of "Community" through openness to others with varying views. No matter how firm your beliefs, courageously listen with curiosity and respect in order to facilitate communication. This month's topic is More Curious, Less Furious.
Research shows that curiosity which seeks multiple perspectives can open the mind, increase empathy, reduce fears, encourage self-awareness, and promote humility. Provided in partnership with the Wheaton Public Library. Please register to join the conversation!
This program is provided in the Zoom Meeting format so that you may better engage and interact with the presenter and other participants. Please turn your microphone and/or camera on.

| Jan 12 MLK's Chicago Freedom Movement |
Prepare to honor Martin Luther King, Jr., Day with photographer Bernard Kleina, whose rare and historic color photography exhibit, MLK's Chicago Freedom Movement, is on display during January in the library’s Arts & Culture Center.
In his presentation, The Road to Freedom, Mr. Kleina will discuss his experiences while he captured MLK’s Chicago visit and marches on film, and both the ugliness and beauty of the responses to the local struggle for fair and open housing, which continues today. He will review where our country was, and is now, in terms of justice and equality.
The Birmingham Civil Rights Institute said “These photographs of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., in Chicago in 1966, are some of the first color photographs that the world saw of Dr. King. Mr. Kleina captured one of the most violent missions Dr. King undertook and it wasn't in the Deep South.”
City of Wheaton Community Relations Commission, Wheaton Public Library, and Wheaton League of Women Voters are partners to bring this program to the community.
