Calendar
Thursday 4
Irvine-Pitt-Princeton Philosophy of Science Conf.
After Martin Luther King Jr. was assassinated on April 4, 1968, riots erupted in cities across the country and then-President Lyndon B. Johnson called for a Day of National Mourning to be observed three days later. The University Library System will recount Pittsburgh’s participation in that 1968 Day of National Mourning April 5 with a program and a series of black-and-white photographs taken that day by local photographer Charles Martin. He captured the day as thousands of local residents peacefully marched from the fire-ravaged Hill District to the Federal Building, Downtown. The program will take place at 10 a.m. April 5 in Hillman Library’s Dick Thornburgh Room.
